The Dinosaur’s Diary - Julia Donaldson

Whilst growing up one of the dinosaurs (Horace) is taken by the farmer who wants to take him to the vet. Matt has a special secret – when he touches a prehistoric egg, he sees flashbacks of a prehistoric world. We found that the children became much more engaged in their learning, enthusiastic about writing stories, and immersed in their work. This means she’s not able to have babies where she currently lives, because the more predatory dinosaurs eat her eggs for dinner.

After a daring rescue, Hypsilophodon takes all her youngsters back through the mysterious pool to her own world.

An innovative and exciting hardback that traces the origins of common household pets, such as guinea pigs, dogs and goldfish, right back to their prehistoric ancestors. The dinosaur and other animal fossils found at Tendaguru form one of the cornerstones of our understanding of life in the Mesozoic era.Not even the pesky “no dogs in the museum” rule can keep me away from this fossil-tastic FEAST-A-SAURUS. It could be read to a whole class as it’s easy to follow and there are some nice illustrations you could show the class as well.

A perfect guide to help children understand the concept of how life on Earth has taken millennia to develop. I also liked the relationships she had with the other characters, such as the swallows and her babies. My rating wouldn't likely have changed without those references, but they were so unnecessary and obvious that they really just made me roll my eyes. The dinosaurs and the swallows come up with a plan to save Horace in which, they manage to all escape but inadvertently drive the farmers tractor into the pool where Hypsilophoden first arrived from. Dinosaurs have been a topic of discussion and inspiration for much longer this year than they were during a different iteration of the topic last year.

The story is brilliant to explore new experiences, feelings and how important it is to support others. We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. Even now the project is complete, it has continued to have a positive impact on the children’s general engagement and communication. In a world of mutant dinosaurs in Utah, Zach tries to find which dinosaur infected him with reptilian blood.
