This tells where the class goes. It adds two easy words (big and dinosaur) to describe the building.
This shows where the teacher holds the whistle. It helps the reader see the picture.
This connects two unit words with and. It shows the things classmates need for the visit.
This correctly uses its for a building or place. It tells about a special room inside.
