In topic this week we are going to find out all about seaside holidays in the past. We will look at some PowerPoints and have a go at some interactive activities. I've also linked this to some art and craft so you can have a go at making your own Punch and Judy show!
In outdoor learning I would like you to collect some rocks and pebbles either from your garden, the woods or on your daily walk. We are going to have a go at identifying them. Then if you have found a smooth pebble you could have a go at decorating it and hiding it on your next walk for somebody else to find!
Carrying on in the woods we are going to read The Gruffalo and do some Gruffalo themed dance!
