We have been studying Evolution. Today in Science we were learning about Mary Anning, a palaeontologist who was born in the late 1700s and was a fossil hunter. She discovered many different fossils, including dinosaur bones. Our task was to excavate fossils (choc chips) from the ground (cookie) without damaging it. We had a competition to see who was the best cookie palaeontologist. Profit - £10 per fossil (chic chip) Losses - £3 per tool (toothpick) £8 per broken fossil (broken choc chip) £6 per piece of damaged ground (broken pieces of cookie) The person who made the most money was the winner! Kyla won - making more than £400!
