The Seaside This topic allows us to explore and investigate our natural world. We will learn about seaside animals and how to stay safe when we visit the beach. We will learn about the environment and how our actions can impact the world locally, nationally and globally. We will understand how we can demonstrate care and respect, and build a body of knowledge, to develop the skills to connect and apply this learning throughout our lives. We will explore how the seaside has changed over time in our local area and how Grace Darling's story started the RNLI. We will be creative thinkers, willing to take risks in our learning and challenge ourselves to take the next steps to be the best we can be. .
