Lesson plan: Dinosaurs and all that rubbish

From the Foundation Stage classroom activities on Global Citizenship themes online resource

Age group: 3 - 5

Aims:
For pupils to gain a sense of the future, begin to identify unfairness, and have an appreciation of their own environment and of living things.

What to do:
You will need:

  • the book: Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish by Michael Foreman.

Read the story to the class and then ask:

  • was the man right to make such a mess and then just leave it?

  • was the man right to say everything belonged to him when he came back?

  • what did he learn from the dinosaurs?

  • what can we learn from this story?

Role-play short extracts of the story. Follow up by talking about how to take care of things in the classroom. Ask pupils to identify what needs tidying up.

Planned outcome:
That pupils begin to learn that we all have responsibilities towards the Earth.
