The Evolving Dinosaurs Reflection
from the Big Evolving Dinosaur

Today is   Thursday  



I am feeling           
 because my friends teased me at school today and I didn't like that.





The best thing today was playing Poison Ball with my friends at school.


Tomorrow I am looking forward to PE because we are doing discus.




The book I am reading is called  " Time Riders - City of Shadows" and it was written by Alex Scarrow.

Our Learning Spaces






We learn in all sorts of spaces in and around our home!

The Evolving Dinosaurs are not home-schooled and some of their best home based learning is when they are playing together, imagining and creating, co-operating and sharing with each other.

The Evolving Dinosaurs' Blog Guidelines

Hi Evolving Dinosaurs,

I hope you are going to enjoy contributing to our blog with me.  I have some ideas about what we can do and am looking forward to implementing your suggestions too.  Before we go to far though let's set some guidelines to help us be responsible digital citizens.


  1. Posts must be fully edited, and been through a teacher conference before they are published.
  2. We will not name our Evolving Dinosaurs or others mentioned on our blog to protect their identities and privacy.
  3. We cannot publish any photos of people on our blog without their consent or their parent's consent for other children.
  4. We will not put anything in our blog that could hurt, offend or upset anyone personally.

Welcome to Evolving Dinosaurs

It's Term 3 my Evolving Dinosaurs!!!!




We had a great break over the holidays with some fun days out and some very welcome relaxing days at home.  My favourite thing was our family time and enjoying each other's company.  The youngest dinosaur was a risk taker with his bike riding and was so resilient after some tumbles.  I am so proud of him.  We all tried a new activity - archery.  It was loads of fun!  Some of our dinosaurs were more successful than others but we all loved it.


Now it's time to look ahead.  How do we all feel about the new term?  What do we want to achieve this term?  What memories do we want to create?  What WOW moments do we hope to have?


I am already trying something new and really hope that you will help me with this blog.  I enjoyed creating this page, but it has a long way to go!!!!  


In the next few days I will be thinking about other experiences for us to have soon. Your help and suggestions would be wonderful!  I already know you'd like to do some more archery and see the Dinosaur exhibit on at ScienceWorks called "Tyrannosaurs - Meet the Family". Here is a link to the exhibit. http://museumvictoria.com.au/scienceworks/whatson/tyrannosaurs/

Let's put those in our calendar.  What else?


We should also look at some learning goals too my Evolving Dinosaurs.  What can I help you become better at?
