On Friday we prepared for being paleontologists. Ms Andrea asked us to imagine that a chocolate chip cookie was a rock and the chips were fossils. Using a toothpick we carefully chipped away to get the chips out. It was surprising how difficult it was. We had people saying: 'Ah, my cookie broke', 'I can't get it out', 'It takes so long'. In a nut shell, we learnt that the job of a paleontologist is not an easy one!

Next week we will actually go on a dinosaur dig for bones using paleontology tools.
