Learning About Dinosaurs With Anthony

This week we went to the Canterbury Museum.  We went by bus and it was exciting to be going on our first school trip apart from swimming.  It was our first school trip for many of us.  
First we had a lesson in the museum with Anthony.  He taught us about dinosaurs and had dinosaur parts for us to look at and touch.  Some were real or some were casts from fossils found.  
Anthony taught us some key things about dinosaurs:

1. Dinosaurs live on land, they can't fly or swim
2. Dinosaurs have scales
3. All dinosaurs have straight legs
4. New dinosaurs have been discovered
5. Dinosaurs lay eggs
6. Some dinosaurs they have discovered has feathers
