Going to the beach in the summer is one of our favourite family activities. This year we have really got into our sandcastle building. It’s a great way to get creative! Use whatever is lying around – sand, stones, feathers, seashells, even seaweed.
Think of the sand as a giant canvas ready for drawing pictures and making patterns. If there is no sand use rocks, shells and stones.
There is lots to see. Rock pools can be great places to explore. Look out for little fish, shellfish, hermit crabs and anemones. If you find a crab look out for those sharp pincers because even though they are small they are not afraid to use them. Jellyfish sometimes get washed up, but be careful some can sting.

I was wondering what that one in the bottom right corner was. Jellyfish…. I never would have guessed!

I’ve seen jelly fish but never one that looked like that.
My laptop has a different picture when it comes on each morning, one chosen by Windows 10 I imagine. Today it was a lot of jellyfish! I thought it was an interesting synchronicity.
