Under the Sea and The Seaside

Sunbaby's latest project began with a look at the oceans and life under the sea. As we crept into July and some lovely hot weather, it naturally morphed into an exploration of life at the seaside too.

It included lots of craft, initial sounds and making phase 1 words, counting, addition, subtraction, water play, some cooking, role playing and outside play. We've had two beach visits thwarted due to the weather but we're hoping to go soon!
