Orange Class have been finding out about the seaside.
We read some seaside poems including 'Song of the Seaside' by Celia Warren
SONG OF THE SEASIDE
One for a bucket,
Two for a spade,
Three for the castle
Grandpa made.
Four for a deckchair,
Five for a towel,
Six for the crab
that made me howl.
Seven for the sunshine,
Eight for the sky,
Nine for the kite
we like to fly.
We visited the 'beach' at Willington Garden Centre for inspiration.
We wrote our own versions of the poem.
See our photos below!
