Video transcript

My dad wakes me up, we’re off to the Hancock museum today. As a ten year old boy going to see the dinosaurs was a big deal. We set off in the car. The four of us, my mam, dad, brother and me. When you’re a little kid a 20 minute journey takes forever. We finally arrived, going up the steps, then me dad pays the entrance fee. We go in and wow, I look up and see the scale of the monster looking down at me. And the size of the teeth, some of them bigger than my arm. I thought this was amazing as a hundred million years ago these animals would have been walking around this planet. We go a bit further into the museum and there is a video of the dinosaurs explaining what the world was like when they ruled to world. As a ten year old boy I was so interested and my imagination was running wild with everything going on in the museum. There was even the sounds which the dinosaurs would have been making in the background. This was a great day and some great memories.
