Reception Classes Enjoy a Fun-Filled Afternoon at Bluff Beach!

Our Reception classes had an amazing afternoon at Bluff Beach, making the most of the fresh sea air and beautiful scenery! We were lucky with the weather—bright skies and a gentle breeze made it the perfect day for outdoor fun.

Me and Jackson were playing in the sand and the seaweed – Aaron. Yes and we also made a castle with the seaweed – Jackson

The children took part in a variety of exciting beach activities, including building sandcastles, collecting shells, and creating beach art using seaweed and pebbles. We also played group games like relay races, beach ball challenges, bat and ball and a giant game of “Duck, Duck, Goose” on the sand!

Although the waves looked very tempting, it was a little too chilly for paddling this time. We managed to keep dry and will save our splashing adventures for when the weather warms up.

I did a sand angel. I make sandcastles and I always get wet in the sea. When I went in the sea when it was warm – Ella

Last time I went surfing with my Dad. We were surfing a lot and we watched some big waves and we crashed on the shore and we kept on walking back to the waves where we were again. Then we were surfing again and again and again.

It was a fantastic day, and we can’t wait for our next beach adventure!
