"Everyone stand on your desks!" said Mr Fossil. Next moment we were in the tops of trees looking down on real dinosaur nests! Our school is definitely different. Take our teachers for starters. Mr Fossil is about as old as a dinosaur, but his lessons really are magic! We learned about the: spiky stegosaurus-by meeting our teacher's pet.a smelly dino called Pongo! killer tyrannosaurus-when we went through the classroom wall and arriveD at a desert dig for dinos! gigantic apatosaurus-when one got into a fight outside our window! It's brilliant here. Come on in and see for yourself.!
