Our Trip to the Museum

On Tuesday we went to the Otago Museum.
We went to learn about dinosaurs and their babies.
Here is a picture showing the real life sizes of two dinosaurs - the blue one is a triceratops and the green one is a tyrannosaurus rex.





We could dress up as dinosaurs. Here are two little dinosaurs standing in front of a t-rex skeleton. You can see the different parts - the skull, the ribs, the spine and the leg bones.







This is a baby dinosaur model. You can see right inside the egg. You should go to the museum to see all the cool skeletons and models. We thought it was great!





Here is a report we wrote about a dinosaur.

Tyrannosaurus Rex is a dinosaur. 
It has sharp teeth and sharp claws and big grapefruit eyes and little arms and two strong legs to chase after its prey.  It has very thick skin and a skull. T- Rex has to hunt other dinosaurs to eat meat. He was as big as our classroom. He has a big heavy tail to help him balance.

I love the picture of the baby dinosaur in the egg. I will have to take Rebecca to the Museum so that she can show me. How small you all look standing next to the Dinosaur drawings. Looking forward to the next instalment so that I can learn more too.
