Sun, Sand and Smiles: Year 1's Wonderful Day at Littlehampton Beach

What a fantastic day Year 1 had on their trip to Littlehampton Beach! The children were brimming with excitement as they set off for a day full of learning, exploration and seaside fun.

The highlight of the day was, of course, our time on the beach. The children behaved spectacularly and approached their fieldwork with real enthusiasm and care. Armed with clipboards and sharp eyes, they set about identifying a range of features in the local environment. Their understanding of geography shone through, as they confidently discussed what they could see around them.

Miss Grimes shared that “playing eye spy a human or physical feature on the walk along the promenade was a real pleasure – the children’s knowledge was impressive and it was lovely to hear them using the vocabulary we’ve learnt in class.”

From spotting piers and sea walls to identifying cliffs and coastal buildings, the children demonstrated a fantastic grasp of the differences between human and physical geographical features. They worked brilliantly in pairs and small groups, supporting one another and showing real curiosity about the world around them.

We are all incredibly proud of the children for the way they represented our school – with excellent behaviour, thoughtful questions, and boundless enthusiasm throughout the day.
