Peter Davidson visits Cleve House.

In October members of Form Six e-mailed Peter Davidson telling him how much they enjoyed his book “Professor P and the Jurassic Coast”.

Peter Davidson kindly agreed to visit Cleve House and arrived on Friday 16th November with Professor P’s dog Sleepy.

He enthralled Forms 3 to 6 with his reading of a chapter from the book and answered many questions from all the children.

Peter Davidson went on to show us a selection of fossils that he had gathered on the Jurassic Coast. We were all fascinated by the number and variety, especially the ammonites.

After a short break Form Six had Peter Davidson to themselves and he told us how he became an author. He recalled the struggle it is to have a book published. Thank goodness he managed it so we can all enjoy reading about Professor P.

To finish the morning he answered more of our searching questions.

The final treat was to listen to a chapter from his new book. We can hardly wait to read it when it is published.

Many thanks Peter Davidson.
