Starfish
 

Our story at the beach today was ‘Gigantosaurus’ by Jonny Duddle.  We read the story, acted it out and joined in with the phrases we knew.  We then wrote about our favourite part of the story.  After we had our snack we collected some stones and shells for our next task.  We walked down to where the tide had been going out and we dug some swamps for our dinosaurs.  It was great fun! 

Some of us noticed that some people were fishing so we went over to see them.  They showed us the worms that they use to catch the fish and how they cast their rods into the sea.  We asked them some questions and watched for a while.  After a very short while we saw a fish that they caught!  After that we looked at some dinosaur fact sheets and matched our toy dinosaurs with the pictures.  We used the trundle wheel to measure how long some of the dinosaurs were.
