Teacher Notes
Ask pupils to find Lyme Regis on a map of the UK.
With your help, they could use the scale on the map to find out how far they are from Lyme Regis.
Is there a closer beach? Encourage the children to find the nearest one on the map.
Arrange a visit, if possible.
Pupils could bring back any shells and fossils they discover, or sketch beach finds from a book or webpage.
The children could model how fossils were formed by pressing empty snail shells (or sea shells) into a tray of damp clay, to leave impressions.
Encourage them to fill the impressions with a sludgy mixture of PVA glue and sand.
When the sludge has set, pupils can peel off the clay, to reveal their model fossils.
This clip will be relevant for teaching Geography.
This topic appears in KS1/KS2 in England and Northern Ireland, Knowledge and Understanding of the World Foundation Phase in Wales and Early/1st/2nd levels in Scotland.
