Several members of the class have shown a keen interest in dinosaurs. The visit to Hong Kong of the “Walking with Dinosaurs” show meant a boost to their enthusiasm on the topic.
A few discussions took place, dinosaur books were found to be popular choices amongst a few children. This is where it was left as Chinese New Year festivities took hold and we went on holiday.
After the holiday, Ms Sarah brings in a DVD documentary about dinosaurs. And plays a short clip to the class. The aim is to provoke the children and assess to see if the interest from before the holiday was still there.
This is a transcript of what the children said whilst watching the DVD.
¨V: Is that soo, sooo, long long time ago?
¨E: This the mother?
¨Ms Sarah: No
¨T: Where is the mother?
¨M: Gone to get food.
¨E: Maybe she go and find a small insect.
¨A: Is that the mummy?
¨I: There were tigers at the peak a long long time ago.
¨Ms Sarah: What happened to the tigers?
¨I: They cut them.
¨V: Not good man hit the dinosaurs.
¨U: No because the volcanoes erupted.
¨U: T-Rex is the king.
¨H: Because now there’s no more dinosaurs, very very cold.
¨U: Stegosaurus. It just eats grass. It’s a plant eater.
