Following
on the heels of last year's Dangerous Creatures, natural history writer
Trevor Day and local teacher Christina Day join forces to present
an hour exploring our Savage Earth. Come along and see a volcano erupting, experience an earthquake, and watch an asteroid strike. Find out if global warming will soon be changing the face of Britain. The hour is packed with demonstrations, displays, book readings, and opportunities for children to get involved. There is a quiz, with book prizes. |
