Crew MW had a wonderful day on Monday! We got on a coach and went to visit Cleethorpes! As part of our expedition learning, we wanted to experience the seaside and the difference between Carcroft and Cleethorpes. We spent the day playing in the sand, building sand castles, paddling, playing with the parachute and talking about what we could see. It was so lovely to see so many happy, excited faces as we explored! We can’t wait to do our writing about what we saw.
This week in expedition, we have been looking at what seasides used to be like in the past. We’ve explored lots of photographs and pictures and talked about what we could see in each one that tells us about the past. Then we looked at a mix of photographs and pictures and tried to work out which were old and which were new using the clues in the pictures and our own experiences. We found out that not all black and white photographs are old! Next week, when we have been on our trip, we will begin to compare seasides in the past and seasides now after we have all experienced the beach!
This morning, we looked at the front cover of our new story for Case Study 1 – Why is the seaside a special place? We started by saying what we noticed using the picture on the front cover and the title of the story to help us. Here’s what we came up with…
After reading the story, we talked about how the children felt at each point in the book. We used lots of new vocabulary such as, excited, joyful and giddy to describe how the children were feeling. We can’t wait to find out more about the seaside!
