For many of us, the seaside is off the agenda this year, and for children that means missing out on a potentially huge embellishment to their education. But there’s no problem with a pretend seaside, in your classroom or school grounds, or if you’re a parent, in your living room, kitchen or garden – suitably social distanced as relevant, of course.

Here’s a seaside I made on my table, with the help of a blue cloth, a yellow rug, some shells and toy sea creatures, and a poem of mine (available here):

Perhaps it might serve as a warm-up for some of my seaside resources here – or give ideas for other seaside-ish activities.
