Well here we are at camp and what a day of adventure we've had! First a ride in the train, then a windy, long (15km) bike ride, followed by a well deserved swim in the Middlemarch pool. We are having a blast!

Archaeopteryx revealed!
We didn't do too badly with putting our skeletons together! It was pretty tricky! We worked out that they were meat eaters with wings and one group decided that it had a tail. This was an interesting activity that challenged what we already knew about dinosaurs. We think that palaeontologists have a pretty tricky job!
The Mystery Fossil Activity
Today we have been palaeontologists discovering a new species of dinosaur! We have found some bones and now have to work out how the skeleton might fit together. Then we need to think about what the skeleton might tell us - did it fly? Was it a meat eater? How big do we think it may have been?
We are focusing on effective group skills - listening to each other's ideas, supporting each other, making sure our group is inclusive.
