ALL ABOUT DINOSAURS...

This week we learned all about Dinosaurs.  Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for millions of  years.  It is believed that dinosaurs lived on Earth until around 65 million years ago when a mass extinction occurred.  Scientists believe that the event leading to the extinction may have been a massive asteroid impact or huge volcanic activity.  We know that a person who studies dinosaurs is known as a paleontologist.  We learned that some dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex were carnivores (meat eaters), however, the largest dinosaurs such as the Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus were actually herbivores (plant eaters). To help fight meat eaters many plant eaters had natural weapons like the spikes on the tail of the Stegosaurus and the three horns attached to the front of the Triceratops’s head.  We had lots of fun learning about these interesting creatures!

We pretended we were scientists digging for fossils!












We had fun being dinosaurs and doing the Dinosaur Boogie!
