Today boys and girls we would like you all to make a story stick here is Haggis one, the things on the stick give a wee clue to what the story is about. Haggis has a tree, dinosaur and fairy on his story stick lets go and see what his story is about.

Here is Haggis and his friends story girls and boys:

A dinosaur went to the deep dark wood………………………………………………and he found a lovely little waterfall where he and his friends splashed about having lots of fun, then they spotted a pretty cherry tree they climbed up and up and could see everything below only haggis started to feel a bit scared so they thought it best to come down. A bit further on they found a rainbow 🌈 what could it mean, was it a clue they looked up at the sky no rainbow there,they followed a path through the woods to see, they came to a little house very exciting..they knocked on the door and peered in the window but could not see anybody, then haggis remembered the story of Hansel and Gretel and the little house in the woods where the old witch lived. He whispered to his friends and they crept quietly away they did not want to meet any witches 🧙‍♀️ thank you very much!! A little further on they spotted some beautiful fairy doors how they wanted to meet the fairies from behind the doors they looked and looked and they found…a ladybird, haggis asked the ladybird is she knew where the fairies were the ladybird replied why they are behind the doors but they are very shy and come out mostly when everyone is asleep you just need to look very hard for one.

Then haggis spotted somebody green and purple who said his name was Roly Mo but sadly he could not help them find the fairy either,but he introduced the dinosaurs to Peter rabbit, after a play it was time to go home they all agreed they had enjoyed their little adventure apart from a possible meeting with a witch 🧙‍♀️.

Now girls and boys we would like you to make a story stick then you could draw some pictures and try to do some writing to tell your own little story let your imagination run wild have fun.

Today haggis met some friends at Mrs June house he had lots of fun with his new friends.

Well girls and boys today we are going to learn a little bit about how we know about dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago. A fossil is made when a dinosaur died usually near water, at some point sand and mud would cover the dinosaur lots of times creating layers which then trapped the dinosaur inside the rocks, this process would take thousands of years to happen. Then a Palentologist someone who studies dinosaurs like a special dinosaur teacher would go digging and would find these rocks, that is how we have learnt so much about dinosaurs. Maybe girls and boys you could go on a dinosaur dig in your garden who knows what you might find!!

Can you see the dinosaur in the rocks? Today we are going to make our very own fossil. You will need water, a tub and a dinosaur don’t worry if you don’t have a dinosaur you can use a small animal toy instead.

Then we will put the tub in the freezer and when it comes out we will have a dinosaur ice fossil. Good luck boys and girls have fun with your science experiment 😊. Haggis is looking forward to seeing your fossils.
