I've had to call in my junior assistant editors for this post, as I wasn't actually there! So, with Ian and Ben's help, here is the tale of the Walking with Dinosaurs show.

Ben with his spinning dinosaur light.
They got to Sheffield by train, by not getting off at every stop (it was a very slow train!) and then they got a very fast tram. Ben thought they were going shopping, but then he saw the dinosaur show posters!
This is a Plateosaurus.
This is a Stegosaurus. He had a big nobbly tail that he used to hit other dinosaurs.

This one is a Utahraptor (we think). All the dinosaurs were life-sized, but to give you an idea of the scale, if you look carefully to the right of the picture, standing against the 'rock' hiding from the dinosaur, is the 'Paleontologist' who narrated the show.

This one is the Brachiosaurus. It was the biggest dinosaur in the show - 10 m tall and 22 m from head to tail! Fortunately it was a plant eater.

The Brachiosaurus and the Veloceraptor. This is a view of the whole stage area, which was huge.

This one is an Ornithocherius. It came down from the roof on strings and flew around.

Finally, Tyrannosaurus Rex. Apparently it came into the arena, put its head over into the audience and roared so loudly, Ben jumped out of his seat! Ben had a fantastic time, and has been telling everyone who'll listen about it.
