Today we had a rehearsal for the school production of Beauty and the Beast and then Mummy took me and my friend Jemima to Banbury museum to do cool fossil things.

There were lots of fossils to look at with a microscope and some sand to dig in to find fossils. I was allowed to keep a brachiopod and I got a huge sea urchin fossil from the lucky dip! We made dinosaur masks too.

The museum has been shut for a year while the roof was cleaned.  We went today and had great fun. I got to make a dodo mask. I also made a secret temple in the Pitt Rivers museum (mine has a secret golden swirly flower inside rather than a buddah like the one in the museum)  MY dodo mask is much more colourful than real dodos were.

This is the beautiful building of the natural history museum. I am running up and down the megalosaurus footprints in the grass wearing my yellow Pikachu hat.

Sandy the turtle came with me to help me find turtles and tortoises in the museum. We founds loads and I got to see how beautiful a Hawksbill turtle shell is. I have been sponsoring the critically endangered Hawksbill turtle since my 6th birthday.

This is one of the oldest snake fossils found

Malachite is so beautiful!

I love Oxford museum because there are so many things you are allowed to touch.  Here are a real fox, eagle owl and a rabbit.

Today I watched a program that David Attenborough made. He gets to stay at the Natural History museum at night and some of the cool fossils come to life. It was awesome. I wrote a letter to David Attenborough and I want him to be my pen friend so we can talk about fossils.
