What I would do with my Local Seashore

Added: 21 Dec 2016 Contributor: Clare Quigley Resource type: Lesson Plan

The aim of the lesson plan is for children to identify the beach as a place where people can enjoy. Through project work students will create a postcard campaign to raise awareness and suggest ways that the beach could be kept clean and safe.
