Another two Rocks and Soils workshops were held this week in Leatherhead schools: at West Hill school and St Peter's RC Primary school. Led by SATRO’s professional geologist, participants had a hands-on opportunity to investigate rock specimens and even had an opportunity to make impressions of some fossils. Simple experiments were conducted to identify different mineral samples and an introduction to soils enabled the pupils to have an understanding of their geological environment. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, one commented "I really enjoy science and I especially like geology. I think I might be a Paleontologist. I loved this and I hope they come again." another said, "It was really fun because I learnt a lot today...I really want to do it again and again." These two workshops were kindly sponsored by the GeoScience Department at ExxonMobil.
