The children in Starfish class had a fantastic day at the harbour and Tunnels beach. They discussed the human and physical features at each place, sketched the boats, built sandcastles and found lots of crabs in the rockpools.

​Dolphins class had a fantastic trip to Ilfracombe Harbour and Tunnels Beaches. Everyone had a great time.

We had a fantastic day visiting the Tunnels Beach and the harbour. We were rockpooling, digging, making sandcastles and  learning about the human and physical features of our town. 

The Seahorses loved going on our trip to the harbour and Tunnels Beach this week. We sketched the boats in the harbour, looked at the different human physical and human features around us and also explored the rockpools to see what sea creatures we could find.

Starfish enjoyed learning about the ocean and engaged in a range of activities, They made a pirate patch and hat, sang songs, created a collaborative art ocean scene, learnt about animals that live in the ocean and learnt about pollution.

On our engage day we started to learn about life in and on the ocean. We worked together to make a large ocean scene using pastel and brusho paint, make pirate hats and we also considered the animals that live in the ocean and how pollution can be harmful to them. 

We have nearly completed our sculpture unit of work on birds. Over the weeks we have enjoyed drawing birds, feathers, looking at techniques to add 3D effects and this week we have been making our bird sculptures.
