DINOSAUR ROCK


Today we had an amazing visit from Dino Darren and Jurasic Jaqui. It was amazing! We were able to explore loads of fossils as well as hunt for our own. As an extra bonus we even went panning for gold and gems.

DINOSAUR ROCK


Just look at the size of this T-Rex footprint. It is HUGE. This is the only cast of this footprint in New Zealand. Can you remember where the footprint was found Room 1? Chocolate fish reward!

DINOSAUR ROCK


Dinosaur Darren turned our William into a fierce Dinosaur. Look at the size of those horns. What did they use those horns for Room 1? Lollypop to the first correct answer.
