Home Education: Ancient Sea Animals - Ages 5+

Wakefield Museum, Wakefield, WF1 2EB
Friday 15th May 2026
Millions of years ago the ancient seas were full of fantastic marine animals! Today, we can learn all about them ​by exploring their stoney remains and examining what the fossil record can tell us.

In this home education workshop designed for children aged 5+ we will:
  • examine real marine animal fossils from the ancient seas
  • imagine what ancient marine animals looked like
  • consider similarities between ancient and modern sea creatures
  • design our own imaginary underwater animals from prehistoric times

This session is delivered in partnership with the Community & Family Learning Team at Wakefield Council’s Adult Education Service.
