In Reception we have been learning about inspirational female Scientists as part of Science week and Women's History Month. Today we focused on learning about Mary Anning, a fossil collector and leading palaeontologist of her time. We found out about her significant discoveries as a fossil hunter and we were particularly excited to learn about how she found a skeleton of a Plesiosaurus along with other dinosaur remains. We discussed how she made a huge impact in the field of palaeontology and Science and how she was an inspiration to other women at a time when it was difficult for them to have access to these areas of work.
