Yesterday primaries 3 and 3/2 visited Dynamic Earth and had a wonderful time.  Firstly we went on a tour and explored different rocks and then we embarked on a journey through time inside a time machine.  We watched a video of a volcano erupting and the ground that we were standing on began to shake.  Some of us got a fright!  We also saw an iceberg and watched video clips of frightening avalanches.  We went into a room that looked like a cinema and had to wear 3D glasses.  We watched a film of a helicopter ride taking us through different biomes and wearing the glasses made us feel like we were actually on the ride!  It looked like we could touch some of the animals.

We then had a dinosaur detective workshop where we were allowed to look at and touch different fossils and discuss which dinosaur they belonged too.  Some of us had the chance to become paleontologists where we used brushes to discover a dinosaur fossil buried in the sand.  The whole experience was enjoyed by all of the pupils and adults.

A special thank you to all of our adult helpers who kept us safe on our trip.

My favourite part of the trip was when we travelled on the 3D helicopter.  I got a huge fright when the scorpion attacked! Jack J

I enjoyed looking at and touching the iceberg.  I put my fingers in the holes on the ice and it was freezing cold. Daniel

My favourite part was at the start of the tour and we got to look at ancient rocks.  I touched the oldest rock in Scotland. Karolina
