We had a blast on our field trip to the Royal Tyrrell Museum!
We spent the morning, touring the exhibits: gasping at the size of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, trying to spot real creatures in the gardens, and showing off our knowledge of dinosaur names.
After lunch, we gathered together in the museum classroom for a dinosaur picnic!
We learned all about what dinosaurs ate; which were herbivores and carnivores and how to tell the difference. We also had a chance to "feed" the dinosaurs and pass around fossils of jaws and teeth.

Afterwards, we headed outside to explore the badlands and see what creatures and natural formations we could spot.
We loved watching the ground squirrels and seeing how many different kinds of bugs we could find.

All the kids had a great time and were raving about the experience for days afterwards. A huge thank you to everyone who made the field trip possible, including our parent and grandparent volunteers as well as the parent council for funding the trip!
