Friends of Ty Ffynnon, parent committee at the school, organised a visit from the dinosaur experience company - Teach Rex Roadshow.

The idea was to give all children throughout the school an opportunity to meet a dinosaur!

Younger children had a baby dinosaur visit their classrooms, where they were able to ask lots of questions and learn lots of facts about dinosaurs linked to their topic this term.

Junior children had an opportunity to create a video using green screen technology and a giant dinosaur.

All of the staff and children really enjoyed the experience.
