Other ideas to explore a Seaside topic are:

  • Write a brochure advertising the seaside resort you visited or your local seaside town to persuade people to visit – set up the role play corner as a travel agents
  • Write postcards home from your trip to the seaside, either in the present day or imagining it was in the past
  • Make sea pictures either using collage or exploring colour mixing techniques with paint
  • Environmental art – use items collected at the beach (where legal!) to make collages or outdoor art and photograph
  • Make Punch and Judy puppets and put on a show
  • Put on an End of the Pier show for your end of term show
  • Learn some beach games in PE
  • Using video footage of stormy seas write poetry about a stormy night on a boat
  • Discuss what to pack to go to the seaside, can link to boating safety
  • Using music about the sea (e.g. Morcheeba – Down by the sea) compose a sea dance with the children. Long ribbons can be used as waves or simple sea gulls made out of cardboard tubes with added wings.
  • Research a famous shipwreck, like the Penlee disaster and explore it through poetry or role play
  • Look at myths and stories about the sea, maybe write your own!
