Welcome to the Greybull/Staffin dinotalk blogsite

Hi! My name is Dr Neil Clark and I study dinosaurs. For the last ten or more years I have worked on the Isle of Skye where lots of Middle Jurassic dinosaur remains have been found. This summer, I was lucky to travel to Wyoming to look at the Middle Jurassic dinosaur remains there also. As you send messages to each other across the Atlantic Ocean, I will add comments on the results of a study comparing the dinosaur remains in Wyoming to those on the Isle of Skye. Why not ask each other on what you know about the dinosaurs where you live? Visit your local museum and find out what fossils they have. Let each other know what it is like to live where you live. Send your own pictures with your postings. Interview local fossil experts about the dinosaurs in your area and let others know what you find out. Above all, have fun!

We, at Staffin, would like to apologise for the comparitive scarcity of our input to this blog.
We've had a number of problems which are continuing as our Council restricts internet access to private blogs (rightly so, as the protection of our children is of utmost importance)
At the moment we can access the blog at the school but we cannot input any responses as our attempts to set up an account at the school are being blocked. The restrictive nature of the dinotrack blogsite is also an issue with colleagues at Staffin but we'll perservere for the moment.
This communication is being sent from my personal link, at my home, to the blog but obviously this does not help with any potential interaction between our respective students.
I'm sure that Greybull are preparing for Christmas as we are here - it's a very busy time for us, we are preparing for a torchlit evening walk to the shore followed by a concert, and term ends on Thurs the 21st.
Have a very happy and restful Christmas season at Greybull from us all at Staffin Primary.
