Dinosaur Skeletons
With Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Events
About 9.9 miles away from your postcode
At Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park
Activity description
Join us for a fun and creative session where we'll use pasta to make a dinosaur skeleton! Skull, ribs, spine, and limbs, you'll design your very own prehistoric creature using a variety of pasta shapes. We'll provide plenty of dinosaur pictures for inspiration and help you learn about these fascinating animals, including how their skeletons are similar to - and different from - our own. Take your finished masterpiece home as a memento of your dinosaur adventure! Sessions run on a drop-in basis; they are free and no booking is required. These sessions will take place indoors, in our classroom, from 11am-12pm and 2-3pm. Ask at the gatehouse for directions. Stick around in the park and complete the quiz or the younger children’s trail to learn even more about dinosaurs.

Crane Park (A316) - Meadow management
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
About 13.9 miles away from your postcode
At Crane Park, Hospital Bridge Road Entrance
Activity description
We will work in the A316 and Willow Way meadows in Crane Park to continue our control of dominant and unwanted plant species (brambles and burdock). We will meet in the A316 meadow, located on the corner of Hospital Bridge Road & the A316. roundabout & Crane Park meadow, located north of Great Chertsey Rd. Some species can fast become dominant/invasive in open meadow spaces. They will often form dense stands in spring and summer, which shades out wildflower and grass species. Removal is often done in spring and early summer, before seed heads are able to form, to contain the growth/spread of the plant. Dependent on species, we will be utilising a mixture of mattocking, digging, and hand pulling removal techniques. The meadow site we will be working in this session is reasonably exposed so please bring a hat and water bottle and wear clothing that will keep you protected from the sun. We do recommend wearing long-sleeved shirts/trousers as we will be working around stinging nettles.
