In March 2025 Dr Diane Turner (Dr Di) spent the morning with the meteorite collection at Newton Primary School in Cambridgeshire. The school only has 3 classes, therefore Dr Diane Turner was able to visit the whole school, from foundation level up to year 6!
The headteacher commented 'Dr Diane was excellent! The children were fascinated by the talk and responded brilliantly to being able to hold, examine and pass round the items! They could not BELIEVE they were holding a piece of the moon!
The children had some great questions and Diane answered them really well, especially including lots of visuals and videos to support what she was teaching us. Thank you for a fabulous presentation!
Dr. Diane was a fabulous addition to celebrating British science week at Newton Primary School. The children were very excited when she opened her big case full of meteorites! The presentation was well thought out, and each class found the presentation targeted the audience at an age-appropriate level. The children were very engaged and absolutely loved holding actual meteorites and a piece of the moon! They couldn’t wait to go home and tell their families. All round, a very informative and enjoyable experience.
Thank you so much for taking the time to come and visit our school.'
