Jurassic Coast Day

Step into the adventure our day at the Jurassic Coast brought to life! The children became real fossil hunters as they dug through shingle and sand, discovering hidden treasures millions of years old

By linking our discoveries to our own local geography, the children learnt how the Jurassic Coast shapes the landscape we see every day—from towering headlands to curving bays—and how this special place connects our community to Earth’s ancient past. A day of muddy hands, curious minds, and proud smiles

The children strolled beside virtual dinosaurs, imagining what our dramatic cliffs and beaches looked like in prehistoric times, and listened with wonder to the story of Mary Anning, the brave local girl who changed the way the world understands fossils!
