Image sourced from: www.bing.com

This half term we will be learning all about the seaside. We will think about the different seaside resorts we have been to and will be sharing our own experiences. We will learn about the different plants and animals that live at the coast and about the physical features of the seaside such as cliffs, rock pools and sand dunes. We will also compare a seaside resort in the UK with a resort in Australia. Finally we will learn about seaside holidays in the past through a special workshop in school.
