The perfect blend of Understanding the World, Maths and Writing!
What can you see at the seaside? Variety of objects (some more than 1). The children cab subitise & write what they can see… e.g. I can see 2 turtles
Sheets to write on & table sign included
Beach scene to prompt writing of simple sentences.
A4 sheet for children to use to look and describe things they see. Perfect to use as a Communication & language resource to prompt interesting sentence ideas and adjectives. Additional sheet for writing could be done independently as an enhanced CP activity or a teacher led/supported writing task.
This resource is a set of 5 Art lessons based around the theme of the sea, oceans and water for KS1. The key skills that are taught include creating different tones and shades with paint and pencil, using shapes, patterns and lines and experimenting with different materials.
There are 3 different artists used as inspiration, all of whom have painted the sea or water using very different techniques. The children have the opportunity to work alone for 4 lessons and part of a collaborative group project for the final lesson. They have lots of opportunity to choose what materials they work with.
The 15 page pdf lesson plans are very detailed and include a list of any resources you will need to get out of the cupboard. There are also details of curriculum links and examples of work from my classes. I have included the simple 7 slide PowerPoint I used for the series of lessons, which contains examples of the artists’ work around which the lessons are based.
I hope you enjoy the lessons! They are great fun!
A collection of photos of shells found at the seaside, as part of my field trip work with students, and with our lessons on oceans, seas, and life underwater.
This attractive seaside sheet links letters and their sounds to pictures of familiar items starting with those letters:
s - sea, f - fish, b - boat.
Children will naturally sound out the words, without the bother of working their way through all the letters in them. This will bring meaning and interest to the sounds. The letters are pale, for writing over, with an extra set below the seaside colouring picture.

This sheets is designed to help children practise sharing concrete resources, such as shells or flags, between two sandcastles. Please look at my TikTok account eyfsdiarieswithmisscx to see how I used this resource.
I used this assembly with Year 1 children and we shared the story 'The Little Mermaid.' We also shared facts we had found out and the children acted out their own story and sang seaside themed songs and poems.
