What Sort of Dinosaur is This?

Chalmers brought a toy dinosaur to school on Friday. We looked at pictures to try and identify it. After looking at many pictures, we thought that it might be an Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus).
This is the picture he took.

This was the picture we found.

What sort of dinosaur do you think his toy was ?

Special Features On Our Favourite Toys

Last week we learned to label some special features on our favourite toys using a programme called KidPix. Look at some of the adjectives we have used. We took our own photos using the class digital camera. Some of our photos might be a bit 'fuzzy' because we were learning to focus before we took the photo.
