Classroom Item - Room 4

Two weeks ago, Room 4 went to the Waikato Museum to see the Permian Monsters exhibition. Permian Monsters are creatures who roamed the Earth 290 million years before the dinosaurs. We learnt about what the land might have been like, what creatures lived during this time, the special features they had and why they became extinct. We wrote some poems to share our learning about the Permian Monsters.
