Scarborough and Fossils

Today, I went to Scarborough and explored a fossil event at the Rotunda Museum.
It was a small event with palaeontologists from across the country. It was fantastic seeing what they brought and how their career has developed into what most were currently researching.

I took part in something which all the children (and even some adults!) were making...

Trace fossils!

It is simply salt dough with coffee and tea granules mixed in to add a rocky colour. I made a dinosaur footprint for mine!

Of course, being at the beach only means you eat one thing; fish and chips! Or in my case, sausage and chips! I however needed help eating mine, I didn't want to get grease all over me, it's not easy washing it off you know...


Whilst letting the food settle, it was nice to just observe the landscape, animals and people around. It's fun seeing the waves form shapes and the gulls tying to avoid getting their feet wet!
