OUR TOPIC FOR THIS TERM... OH, WE DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE!
For our final term before the summer holidays, we are going to be finding out all things sea and seaside!
We will learn about what animals live in the sea and some of the special features that they have (e.g. fish have gills and octopus have tentacles). We will be exploring what creatures we might find in rock pools and along the seashore. We will be talking about what we can do to protect our beaches and oceans, helping to keep them nice and clean. Finally, we will discuss how we stay safe in the sun/on the beach as well as what we enjoy doing at the seaside - if you have any beach photos please send them in on tapestry for us to share/add to our display!
