Year 2 students embarked on an exciting excursion to the Melbourne Museum and IMAX Melbourne recently to further explore their unit of inquiry on dinosaurs. The day was filled with curiosity and wonder.

At the Museum, students eagerly explored the dinosaur exhibition, marvelling at the huge fossils, towering skeletons and interactive displays. A major highlight was seeing the famous Triceratops, Horridus, up close. Students were amazed by its enormous skull, sharp horns and the incredible fact that 85% of the skeleton is made from original bone.

The day also included a spectacular IMAX documentary that transported students back to prehistoric times. Watching the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex - the 'tyrant king' - on the giant screen was a memorable experience for all.  Students spent the day asking insightful questions, making strong links to their classroom learning and enthusiastically discussing their new discoveries with classmates.
