Primary 2b went on a trip to Broughty Ferry Beach to help them learn about life by the sea. Whilst at the beach the children got busy learning about the different animals and plants which can be found there. They were also extremely responsible citizens by taking part in a beach litter pick to help keep our beaches clean and protect the things that live there. We had lots of fun playing games and collecting many interesting things during our beach comb. We brought the items we collected back to our classroom to extend our learning further.

Primary 2 visit Broughty Ferry Beach
On a sunny Wednesday morning in September (after two days of storms!) all three Primary 2 classes visited Broughty Ferry Beach.
Our topic in Term 1 had been about the seashore so this was a great opportunity to learn more from the Countryside Rangers who met us there. We took park in some activities including a game to identify local seashore wildlife and we helped clear up and sort out the litter we found on the beach. Between the two groups we found lots of bits of plastic which we learned will not disappear over time and is very dangerous to the sea birds.
Some of us also had the chance to take part in a scavenger hunt where we had to find some items on the beach and put them in a bag. We took these back to school and had a closer look at the shells and the feathers. We had to throw away some of the items we collected because they were so smelly!
