Museum Fun

We went to the museum last Thursday to see the dinoraur exhibition.  We did little activities like pretending  to be palentologists by digging up fossils/bones.  We had to use brushes to brush away the sand so we could see the fossils and footprints.

On the wall was a triceratops and a tyrannosaurus rex.  They were HUGE but not as huge as the brachiosaurus which was twice as long as the t-rex and twice as tall. We had to fill in a reason sheet, that explained why the dinosaurs were the size they were.

Another activity was dressing up someone in  newspaper to look like a dinosaur.  This was fun.  We could make them big and scary.  We also had to make a fact sheet on the dinoaur, giving it a name and saying what it eats.  Here is a Regansaurus.  He's pretty scary.

We also learnt about dinoaur egg.  Dinosaur eggs are much bigger that hens eggs and they are oval shape.  One dinosaur mother lays her eggs in a circle - she stands in one spot and turns round and as she turns round she lays the eggs.
This is Baby Louie.  Bany Louie is a dinouaur inside an egg.





After the museum we walked down to the art gallery and did some cool art with John.  Here are some of our art works:
