THE DINOSAUR DISCOVERY EXPERIENCE

The Dinosaur People are experts in entertaining children, and we know how to take your students on an exciting adventure using fun, engaging and thought-provoking characters to cover key educational topics and themes (science, history & literature) along the way.

With a background in theatre in education and a talented team of professional actors and primary school teachers we can provide a range of educational experiences, and shows for school groups, museums or historical buildings including engaging, hands-on workshops to support the curriculum.

Theatre and drama are a fantastic way to enrich learning and we aspire for this learning to continue even after the session is over.

That’s why we have created additional learning packs containing lots of engaging activities themed around our performance/workshops and key texts to support teachers in creating links across the curriculum after our visit.

THE WORKSHOP

Mary Anning is brought to life in this hands-on fossil hunting workshop, taught by one of our teamed dressed as a Palaeontologist, Dino ranger or Mary Anning herself. This workshop is guaranteed to catch the attention of your students. Available with and without the below shows.

“The children really enjoyed exploring fossils, bones and pictures. They became palaeontologists and had a go at digging for fossils themselves and trying to work out what they had discovered. The children also created their own fossil, but the favourite part of the workshop was meeting Terry the T-rex and his baby. “
