Geography - At the seaside

Lesson: Geography

We have been using our Geographical Skills to find out about and locate the seven continents on Earth. We have been working collaboratively by using maps and globes to find the different countries and which continents they are in. 

We have also been studying Human and Physical Geography, focussing on the landscape and environment of the seaside – in particular – Wembury beach. Children have expressed why Wembury beach is such a popular place to visit and explored some of the habitats that can be found there. We have focused mainly on rock pools and the creatures that reside in them, this enabled us to explore adaptations, camouflage and nutrition. This knowledge enabled us to create a rockpool food cahin. We engaged in some simple fieldwork and observational skills to explore how seaside animals and plants might be harmed by pollution and how we could prevent this by abiding by the ‘Seashore Code’.
