The Natural History Museum (South Kensington tube station) houses one of the largest collections of dinosaur skeletons and fossils in the world. The museum brings these great beasts from millions of years ago to 'life' either by rebuilding their skeletons or by using 3D life-sized animated models.

Enjoy Chris Haughton's brilliant picture book about a dog who is trying to be good - really, really trying.

We love Oh No, George! This brilliant, bold and instantly recognisable picture book is all about George, a lovely pet dog who promises to be good when his owner is out.

And he really tries to be well-behaved, too. But then there's some chocolate cake out. And Cat is around to be chased. So will he be able to stick to his promise?

To find out, read (and giggle) along with the story below - it's online and interactive, with lots of questions and prompts for chat with your little ones. And you can watch a video with signing, too.
Our storybooks and games are free to use, however some older devices aren't able to support them. You can also watch our Storytime playlist on YouTube read by the likes of Ore Oduba, Adam Buxton, Fearne Cotton and many more.

Here are two ways to make dinosaur pasta skeletons with your preschool, pre-k, or kindergarten students.

Dinosaur Pasta Skeleton #1

First, download the printable skeleton at the link below, and cut out the pieces. Children will assemble and glue the paper pieces of the dinosaur skeleton to a piece of construction paper (12×18 size), and glue dry pasta on the skeleton.

The pasta pieces you will need are:

Shell: for the skull

Rigatoni: for the legs

Fettucini: for the ribs

Elbow (Macaroni): for the neck, backbone, and tail

Dinosaur Pasta Play Dough Skeleton #2

Children pretend to be paleontologists who have discovered bones (the pasta) in the ground. We have to figure out how to put the bones together to make a dinosaur. Have children mash play dough flat on a plate. For younger children, its a good idea to use a dinosaur-shaped cookie cutter to make the outline of a dinosaur in the play dough. Then press pasta shapes (bones) into the play dough inside the outline to make a skeleton.

Model Magic or self-hardening clay would also work well. The pasta can be removed and the children will see the imprint left in the play dough, which is like a fossil.

In this sixth lesson we will explore were dinosaurs lived and answer the kitchen if dinosaurs lived in England. We can explore children's misconceptions about this (i.e that dinosaurs lived somewhere hot and that Great Britain looked the same as it does now).
