It was just too sunny to attend our normal toddler group this morning so we took full advantage of our fantastic Devon location and planned a last minute outing to Wembury Beach. There was a cool wind but not a cloud in the sky - perfect for three little people (and the others that we met there)!
As ever one of the biggest attractions was seeing who could make the biggest splash in the stream with a stone although one child sat down to see what size splash they would make! We used mathematical language to count the stones, looks at the shapes and different sizes.
Another favourite this morning was the fishing net. Whilst the children did not catch any fish they were learning to take turns in using it as we only had one. They did not catch any fish but this did not deter their interest! Some of the children had the idea of turning the net upside down to use the pole as a tool for drawing in the sand.
When we returned home I asked the children if they would like to paint a watercolours picture of the beach. We talked about the colours they had seen this morning and talked about the sand being underneath the water and the sky being above the water.
