Primary Fossil & Palaeontology Workshops

Suitable for
years 3 and 4

Bring the Jurassic coast to your classroom with our immersive fossil workshops! Designed specifically for Year 3 and Year 4, these sessions transform students into mini-palaeontologists for the day, blending scientific inquiry with historical discovery.

What to Expect:

Our hands-on sessions are built to spark curiosity and cover key curriculum links in Science and History. Students won’t just learn about the past—they’ll touch it.

The Legend of Mary Anning:

We dive into the life of the "Mother of Palaeontology," exploring how her grit and keen eyes changed the way we understand the ancient world.

The Science of Fossilisation:

How does a creature become a stone? We break down the complex process of fossil formation through interactive demonstrations.

The "Big Dig":

Every child gets the chance to experience of making a molded fossil they can take home.

Specimen Identification:

From the iconic spirals of ammonites to the serrated edges of prehistoric shark teeth and genuine dinosaur bone fragments, students will handle and identify real-life specimens by working scientifically.
