Thursday 24th May 2007 : Patrington Primary School : Four medics (Bev - asst. coordinator- and Freddie, Adel and Dianne) gave talks and demonstrations to the whole school. The children were exceptionally well-behaved and seemed to enjoy the occasion, and asked many relevant and intelligent questions. Here are just a few of the photos taken - they are rather grainy but that's because they were taken from the back of the school hall.

How big is a dolphin? A life-size model of a Common Dolphin
held up to compare with two of the children.

Same dolphin, taller child! This is the best way to give a feel for just how big dolphins are.

How big is a whale?

Children estimating how big they think the Humber Humpback whale was.
One girl was extremely accurate - was she watching while we measured it
out beforehand, we wonder? If she wasn't : excellent - well done!
