Miss Collins made use some salt dough at home foe us to make bones and fossils out of. First we had a play with the dough and some of us found that it hurt the little cuts we had in our hands. Then Miss Collins handed out the dinosaurs and we pushed them into the salt dough to make a fossil. We had to be careful not push a hole in the salt dough. After that we pinched and rolled dough to make a bone shape. We looked at dinosaur skeletons to get ideas. After school Miss Collins cooked them for us and made them go hard. Next we will tag them like real scientists.

The Discovery Room
After our Museum lesson we went exploring in the Canterbury Museum Discovery Room. We loved it! We were able to wander and explore different things in this room. A big thank you to Rahel (Elshadays's Mum, Lin (Abby's Mum) and Paula (Larissa's Mum) who came on our trip to help.
