Our term 4 topic is “Sea and Seashore.” P2’s 3 key questions are:
- What living things do we find at the seashore?
- Where in sea do different creatures live?
- Who keeps us safe at the seashore?
We started by remembering our road safety rules that we learned when we were the JRSO’s for the school in Term 2 as part of pupil leadership. We lead the walk to the beach safely. Today we were learning what we find on the seashore at the stoney beach, we were particularly interested in different shapes, patterns, sizes of shells and stones. We were trying to find Grotti Buckies but we did not have any luck today. Some of us were aware of litter on the beach and began to discuss with our peers and our teachers the impact of litter in the sea.
Pupil Voice:
“This is a nice shell, it has a straight pattern”
“This rock has a smiley face on it”
“Rubbish is not good for the beach, I have picked up plastic, I will put it in the bin”
“This is called a rock pool, my dad and me found a crab in one of these once”.
Meta-skills: When we got back to class we washed our sea treasures and will have them in our play provision. We discussed what meta-skills we were using. Children felt they were using their– Collaborating, Focusing, Leading, Curiosity skills.
