Dino Discovery Zone and School Workshops
Over February half-term, we opened our doors to the public and offered free dino activities for children and their families.
Each child was given their own ‘Dinosaur Passport’, in which each page held a different activity to complete. Activities included learning about dinosaur teeth and the food they eat, how to dig up and record fossils, understanding dinosaur communication and creating their own dinosaur. Importantly, we wanted the children to have fun and feel inspired by getting up close and personal to our Megalosaurus and other exciting fossils.
Our fantastic Education Team then held school workshops where children learnt about the different types of fossils, and were encouraged to think about how different parts of fossils can tell us important information about the food dinosaurs eat, the sounds they might have made and the environments they lived in.
In total, over 500 children enjoyed our free dino activities at Burlington House!
