Nursery Children have had a super week learning about the work of Mary Anning; a palaeontologist famous for her fossil collections and contributions to scientific knowledge of the prehistoric world. Learning about dinosaurs, making dinosaur hats and singing songs about dinosaurs, are just some of the exciting activities they have done this week. Take a look at their fossils made out of clay! All agreed that clay was a bit like playdough but it felt cold!

We could also see the trains leaving Central Station and passing right next to the castle. A highlight for some of the boys was spotting St.James Park!
