Title: On the dinosaur trail
Writer: Sue Gibbison
Genre: Non-fiction
What happened in the story ( write the key facts. ):
This week our book was based our dinosaur prints, Dr Greg Brownie finding and researching about special dinosaur prints he found in New Zealand. This skill that he has been blessed with is special to have as normal people do find it hard to know facts about dinosaur prints and other facts that most palaeontologists. The main facts about this book was that Dr Greg Brownie spent much of his time to understand and figure special dinosaur prints, and through out his time of doing this much he had gone through many difficulties as for solving the mysteries he had. But by the end Dr Greg Brownie was able to find what these dinosaur prints were and so he published a special article about his journey while looking at dinosaur prints he found here in Aotearoa.
Did I enjoy this text? Why/why not?
Yes , I definitely enjoyed this text. Why? Well this reason is for I learned new facts like what a palaeontologists is, where are places in New Zealand where dinosaur remainings were found! Pretty cool right! I found this text exciting and full of many facts to keep in mind for a future event or project.
What is one key message/ fact that you learnt from the text?
While reading through this week’s book I found one fact that stood out to me. Which is in three different locations in New Zealand people found dinosaur remains before 2009! The list of places where dinosaur remains were found are Hawke’s Bay , Port Waikato , Rekohu. ( the Chatham Islands. )
Who would I recommend this book too? ( Gender , age , interest. )
Well I would recommend this book to year 6 to year 9 all genders. This reason is for I think year 6 students to understand what palaeontologists is and what they do, and I find that year 8’s and 9 should read this book to learn more our ancient times.
