Memorable Experience
Ammonite Art
As part of our memorable experience day, we explored the fascinating world of ammonites. The children showcased their creativity by drawing detailed sketches, printing beautifully patterned ammonites, and then crafting impressive 3D clay models. It was a fantastic hands-on project that brought learning to life! Parents were invited into Snowdon to share the Photography element of their children's project during the Express Event in the last week of term. Many interesting and exciting pictures were created along with some cherished memories of shared learning.
Memorable Experience - Spring
Snowdon had an incredible day exploring fossils, rocks, and relics! The children had the opportunity to handle, sort, and label a variety of rocks and minerals, gaining valuable hands-on experience. They learned all about fossils, including ammonites, and got to examine several fascinating examples up close. Highlights of the day included handling fossilized mammoth and shark teeth, as well as exploring the intricate details of ammonites. What an unforgettable learning adventure!
