We have really enjoyed using our role-play area. We have been identifying different coins and what coins we need to buy things from our fish and chip shop and ice cream parlour.  

 

As part of our seaside topic, Year One have been making lighthouses this week.  

 

Seaham Beach

We had a fantastic time at the beach this week. We had fun playing in the sea, making sandcastles, finding objects, creating artwork in the sand, playing games and eating ice lollies! 

We can't wait to write about our day in our postcards home and write instructions of how to make our amazing sandcastles.
