Harry and the dinosaurs

The children were given a challenge from Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs. Harry left the children a message to help him count out the right amount of dinosaurs because some were lost.

We read the letter from Goldilocks who needed to get across the river before the porridge monster comes. This involved the chil...
