Reception Hertitage Week

Date: 8th Jul 2025 @ 11:58am

As part of Hertitage Week the children in Reception enjoyed a fantastiv trip to St Anne Beach.  As part of our trip we learnt about the seaside and the different features of a coastal town.  We also enjoyed hunting for shells and pebbles, building sandcastles with our freinds and even had a picnic on the sand.  When we returned to school we all enjoyed an icecream.  To further develop our learning we identified a range of different vocabularly  and talked about why people might visit Blackpool.

"I think people come to go to the Beach" Aurora

"I think that they visit so they can go on the big rollercoasters" Kevin

"There are lots of fun things in Blackpool but I like the football club" RJ

We then watched a promotional video followed by drawing our favourite tourist attractions. We even wrote about why it was our favourite.

Following on from this we compared how seaside holidays and visits had changed over time using our key words 'past' and present'  We looked at a range of photographs and discuss why  we thought they were in the past or the present.  the children then worked together to sort them.
