Recounting with iPads

This week we tried doing a recount of our excursion a little differently.  We used our ipads to write sentences to match pictures.  It is the first time we have done this and we think we have done pretty well for a first try!

Herbivore or Carnivore?

We looked at pictures of carnivores (meat eaters) and herbivores (plant eaters) and we discovered that they had different body parts.

A carnivore has sharp teeth, usually stands on two legs so it can run fast and often has sharp claws to catch it's prey.

A herbivore has bumpy teeth for grinding plants, walks on four legs and has a big stomach to fit all that food in.

Here are some pictures of carnivores and herbivores and what they eat.

What can we find out from fossils?

We read a book called, The Little Dinosaur.  In the book the paleontologist studied the bones and then gave them to an artist and the artist imagined what the dinosaur would have looked like on the outside.  We looked at some fossils and tried to find out something about the dinosaur then we had to draw what we thought the dinosaur might have looked like on the outside.
