We are very lucky that Sarah Lloyd and Anya Jung from the Natural History Museum are training a group of Year Eight students to co-run activity tables at our forthcoming Creature Festival on 11th October!
The students were introduced on Monday to a range of fascinating fossils and other biofacts, as well as some activities which have been used by the museum at open days and events. The students were asked to think about how these activities might be engaging for visitors.
There was a mask making activity and an activity involving trying to spot walruses from space!
The students then each chose an object which they wlll research and prepare to introduce to visitors, thinking particularly about how these items have inspired stories about creatures in myths and stories.
