Teach Rex By transporting children to a world of dinosaurs, dragons or rainforest gorillas (right), these workshops aim to ignite young imaginations. Devised by two teachers, they can include a ‘live’ large-scale dinosaur, dragon or gorilla to meet the class. Teach Rex has a curriculum ideas pack written by teachers to help connect the experience to science, geography, English or ICT. Each workshop has been adapted to suit children of all abilities from EYFS up to Year 6.
