Dinosaurs Rock NZ in the Far North
Dinosaur Darren and Jurassic Jackie from Dinosaurs Rock NZ have been visiting our school this week. We all had a wonderful time. It was a great show, full of exciting displays, information and activities. We all had the chance to pan for gold and other exotic minerals. Each of us was able to take home a small collection of shark’s teeth, ammonites and dinosaur bones. All students received a cast copy of a small dinosaur footprint. If you would like to check out what these people are all about, then please visit the website at www.DinosaursRockNZ.com and www.DinosaursAotearoaNZ.com
All the students raved about the 1½ hour show and had great fun getting their hands dirty with sand and fossilised dinosaur pooh

Letter of Support for
Dinosaurs Rock Programme
We were fortunate to have
the Dinosaurs Rock programme visit out school last term. They
had been recommended highly to us and exceeded our expectations.
Jackie and Darren were
extremely professional and organised in their dealings with the
school. They were both warm and enthusiastic and willing to
adapt their programme to suit the learning we had covered in
class. Their programme linked in with National Curriculum
documents and supported the Science Achievement Objective we had
been covering. We were impressed with the way Darren and Jackie
could deliver complex information in such a clear way for
children to understand. All information was presented in
enjoyable ways and with hands on interactive experiences.
Jackie and Darren's
enthusiasm and passion for Dinosaurs is infectious! The
children were 'buzzing' and are still talking about the
activities they participated in and the things they learnt.
Many children have said it was "the best day at school ever!"
The teachers also loved it.
We were impressed with the
'hands on' equipment Darren and Jackie provided for the children
to examine. All equipment was well organised and their
management of children between activities was excellent.
Children left the session with their own bag of gems, a
fossilised dinosaur cast and a certificate. The teachers were
given follow up material for further discussions in class.
We would highly recommend
the Dinosaurs Rock programme to any school. Their presentation
is one of the most professional we have seen. Jackie and Darren
go the extra mile to make the day special for children. We
could not think of a better way to end our Dinosaur Unit.
