Beach Exploration
North
Devon has some of the most pristine stretches of beach in the British
Isles, and they are right here on our door step. Most young
people will have regular access to the coast, whilst others are
deprived of visiting this environment, which is so rich with
experiential learning.
A ‘Beach Exploration Day’ will offer young people the opportunities to ask and discover the answers to many questions that underpin conceptual understanding within the class room.
Curricular subject base: Geography, Science, Art, PSHE
Maximum class size: 32 – (4 groups of 8).
Number of adults required: 4 – (to include a qualified teacher).
