Toilet Roll Timeline!

What better way to learn about the history of planet Earth than using a toilet roll?!

We started off outside of Miss Hurley's classroom 5 billion year ago, when Earth first began. Ed reliably rolled the toilet roll down the corridor and we started counting each square of paper...

We tracked the first traces of life, oxygen being present in our atmosphere, and after 380 squares (somewhere near Aspen Class) we met the dinosaurs!

Eventually we came into human history (the last 10,000 years or so) which was the last 3mm on the last square of toilet paper, just outside of Mrs Kempson's classroom!

We were trying to put the history of the Earth into context, so that we can start to understand more about the tricky concept of 'Chronology'.
