The Year 2 children decided that they would like to learn about how the world has changed since the dinosaurs were alive. This week they found out about the super continent Pangea, and were amazed to find out that the continents used to be joined together. We watched some interesting videos and read a fascinating non-fiction text to research Pangea. The children were then set a challenge to reassemble the continents as we know them today, putting them back together in the form of Pangea. They did really well, and completed the task in teams. The children then used Venn diagrams to compare the world today and from when the dinosaurs were alive. Some of the children were so interested about the movement of the plates under the land, that they went on to get Epic to read more about earthquakes!
