The first session involves a science focused workshop discussing the evolution of science and why it so important to ask the question ‘why’.
This is an interactive workshop, with ‘Jam’ our 4 metre dinosaur, that is designed to get children of all ages thinking scientifically.
The second workshop focuses on expanding vocabulary and encouraging children to verbally discuss ideas that transfer into writing, using our green screen to ignite their imaginations.
Children will have a chance to meet a range of different dinosaurs that are all unique and have different personalities. This workshop is an interactive session that can take place in the classroom. and it focusses on personal, social, and emotional development. Through effective questioning we will explore different feelings and emotions with the children, while they get to know some impressive dinosaurs along the way.

Our workshops are built around curriculum aims across science, literacy and personal, social and emotional development, and we provide Curriculum Idea Packs to help teachers extend the learning around our visit. The packs are cross-curricular planning materials spanning art, design and technology, and science, and they set out broad learning outcomes that teachers can choose from to cover exactly what they need.
Our workshops are designed for children of all ages, from EYFS through the primary years, and are suitable for any year group. Group sizes vary by session: the Green Screen workshop can accommodate up to 200 children.
Session length depends on the setting. Nursery sessions run for 20 to 30 minutes, school sessions run for 50 minutes, and event sessions run for 90 minutes.
Our workshops are priced bespoke to suit each school’s needs. As a guide, a half-day session is £950 excluding VAT and travel. Contact educate@teachrex.co.uk for a tailored quote.
The Baby Dinosaurs workshop can take place in the classroom. Our larger workshops need enough room for the four-metre dinosaur, Jam, to move safely: space for a dinosaur four metres long, two metres high and eight metres wide, with around 2.5 metres of clearance around it. In practice this means a school hall is the ideal setting.

We will bring an egg into school that can be used as a hook into the visit. Schools can create their own eggs to start the excitement of a visit, if they wish.
Each workshop includes cross-curricular resources through our free Curriculum Ideas Pack that will be sent to your school prior to your visit, developed with teaching practitioners to provide writing frames, lesson ideas, and other resources that link to the workshops. These have been created and developed by the incredible team at Teachers Pet.
Of course, our dinosaurs aren’t just for KS1 and KS2. We offer an entire workshop dedicated to younger children in your Early Years Foundation Stage groups. We know grown-up dinosaurs can be a bit scary for smaller children. That’s why, in these workshops, they get to interact with our baby dinosaurs, creating a fun and safe environment for learning.
