Use the popular topic of the seaside to engage young children in geography activities

Topic of the month
Why not use these engaging literacy, numeracy, science and geography activities as your topic of the month? All themed around the seaside – with separate activities for Key Stage 1 and 2. Take a look…
There are almost 18,000 kilometres of coastline in the UK and it has played a crucial part of UK life for centuries. We have always been drawn to the seaside – for practical reasons (transport and shipping, for example), for pleasure (for the eternally popular seaside holiday) and for our own fascination (and the geographical and geological secrets that it unlocks). The topic of sea and seaside also provides an ideal stimulus by which children can explore the geography curriculum. Here are some ideas that can be adapted to suit the needs of your class. Enjoy… and no splashing!
