Sounds of the Dinosaurs

🔍 Discover and Explore

Step back in time and bring the prehistoric world to life in this interactive, sound-filled adventure! In Sounds of the Dinosaurs, pupils will explore real museum objects, investigate fascinating fossil clues, and use their curiosity to ask big questions about the age of the dinosaurs.

✏️ Take Part

Learners will have the opportunity to handle fossils of real dinosaurs. Through creative play and sensory learning, children will imagine and recreate a prehistoric forest by building a nest of herbivores and carnivores. We will finish with a lively, sound-based storytelling session where they will become part of the prehistoric landscape.
