Writing: We are going to plan and write our very own dinosaur story. We are going to invite the children to imagine having a dinosaur as a pet. Where would they keep it? What would it eat? What would their family and friends say? After our discussion, we will use pictures and words to plan a story with characters, setting, interesting words and a beginning, middle and ending.
