Welcome back to school everyone!
We hope that you had a lovely time over the summer and are refreshed and ready to start a new school year with your teachers and your friends. We have lots of interesting topics planned this year and know that we will all be working hard together so that we have a very exciting and productive year. We hope that you enjoy the new challenges and approaches to learning that this year has to offer!
We have been compiling our knowledge about the history of seaside holidays and created our own timeline. We talked about different places on the timeline where we would put Grace Darling and ourselves.

In our geography lesson, we explored the seaside and learnt about human and physical features of different coastal areas.
