Royal Society Book Awards – Visit to Cliffe Castle
A group of students who have been championing the book ‘Rocks’ visited Cliffe Castle last week and took part in a workshop to learn more about rocks, minerals and dinosaurs. The group faced varied tasks that day from identifying different types of rocks to putting a dinosaur fossil back together in the right order. Cliffe Castle has one of the best rock, mineral and fossil collections in the country.
They also had a chance to visit the remainder of the museum, learn about the history of the building and tour the glass houses to admire the plant and cactus.
