Life in Ancient Seas

4/4/2013

Today I made an ancient rockpool! We went to Castleton and we met Gordon, and he helped me make my rockpool. First I painted it blue and green. Then I stuck down rocks while Mummy made some tubes for the corals. Gordon drew me my two trilobites, and I drew an ammonite and a fish. I stuck some wool in the corals and I put a silver piece in. My rockpool is my best creation ever!

Gordon made me two trilobite puppets. There was a big one and a small one. My best one was the big one, it was three-fingered.

There were ammonite toys and belemnite toys, and there were even real fossils there!

I had a really, really good time!

Thanks for the comments, Toby. It was good to meet you and your Mum, and to work with you. I was very impressed by your knowledge of fossils and hope you will come and join us for other events in the future. Later in the summer we are making bigger puppets of those ancient sea animals so you could join us and make a trilobite as big as your arm or an ammonite to wear on your head....details will go on the blog soon!

Hello, my name is Toby. I am five years old, and I want to be a palaeontologist. I really like fossils, so I'm writing down everything I do with fossils! My Mummy is doing the typing until I'm a bit older, but she writes everything I say.
