We have watched a Mary Anning programme. We're going to tell you all about it. It was a programme about lots of famous people who lived a long, long time ago. In this programme, there were five people: Isambard Kingdom Brunel, he was an engineer; Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the telephone; Florence Nightingale, she was a nurse; Harriet Tubman, she was a slave, but she escaped and helped other slaves escape, and Mary Anning.
The programme got a few things wrong, though. It did say that Mary Anning was struck by lightning when she was 15 months old, but the baby in the programme was only a few months old. And in the programme, she was a grown-up when she found the ichthyosaur, but she was really only twelve years old, and she found it with her brother Joseph. AND it was a whole one, and not just a head. The programme was really good, but I'm sad that they got some things wrong. When they do stories about real people, then they should get it right!
