Compass Centre: Dinosaur Fossils

Date: 19th Jan 2026 @ 9:09am

This week in the Compass Centre, we have continued to explore our new creative curriculum theme of Time Travel by making dinosaur fossils during our Challenge Time sessions. Firstly, the pupils worked alongside their key workers to weigh out the different ingredients needed to make salt dough.

With the support of a communication board to extend vocabulary, they measured and mixed the ingredients together to create the dough. Next, it was time to roll it out and use a variety of dinosaur figures and bones to create our fossils. The pupils pressed the items into the dough before placing them in the oven to dry.

We are looking forward to painting and decorating our fossils during next week’s lesson.
