Dinosaur Education Australia
Dinosaur Diggers specialises in providing education of the natural science subject of Dinosaur's and fossils as a preschool or school incursion.
Our format is targeted at the preschool - Grade 1,2,3,4 classes.
Our content is aligned to the published VELS for Primary schools and is delivered in a multi-sensory format through presentation and interaction with our authentic museum quality exhibits.
We have received consistently positive feedback from teaching staff with many schools booking us for repeat incursions on a annual or bi-annual basis.
Here is a small selection of recent feedback:
"Extremely satisified with overall incursion; resources were great, fantastic engaging activities, presenter's enthusiasm was fabulous. Information shared was very useful for integrated unit.
The presentation by Sandra was excellent and engaging. The management of the children in the group was excellent. The content covered was age appropriate and certainly assisted and supported what we have been doing at school. The information was relevant and delivered in an easy and entertaining way for the students to discover.
The childrens responses, the presentation itself, the cost and the activities themselves made the incursion worth every cent"
Melton West Primary School (August 2010, Grades 1 and 2).
"It was fantastic! definitely was not expecting so much entertainment with our learning! and really well run and organised as well as being really engaging, fun, and full of rich learning"
Brunswick North West Primary School (August 2010)
"Met Expectations Excellent. The children loved the presentation and hands-on activities. The incursion is exciting, well delivered and motivates students to learn more about dinosaurs. The Dinosaur Diggers staff were well organised and a pleasure to deal with".
Derinya Primary School (Grade 2 Incursions 2007 and 2008).
"It was a great incursion and the children really enjoyed themselves and learnt a great deal of information. It satisfied all expectations".
Templestowe Valley Primary School (August 2010).
"It was great to have the resources available to show the preps. It complemented our integrated unit of work on dinosaurs well and the presenters were full of knowledge and intersting facts."
Carnegie Primary School.
"A fantastic,engaging,informative and hands on experience not only for the children but the staff as well. Everyone enjoyed digging for fossils (and we got to keep them), panning for gemstones, piecing together the gigantic T-Rex puzzle and of course looking at and using our"fossil finger" to touch the fossils, the T-Rex skull and everything else that Sandra brought. We will definitely be having Dinosaur Diggers at Vista Valley again. It was just like being at the musuem only better".
