Senses at the seaside

For today and tomorrow’s writing, we would like you to explore and describe the five

senses at the seaside. Make sure you include expanded noun phrases (two adjectives to

describe a noun). There are two PDFs for you to choose from, one requires more writing

and the other requires more drawing. The choice is down to you!

Please focus on what can you see and hear at the seaside. Tomorrow you will be writing

what you can smell, taste and touch at the seaside.

Theme:

Science: Materials

For theme today we would like you to

investigate which material would be best

to use for a beach umbrella. Have a think about the

amount of shade each material gives.

For this investigation, you could use any materials you

have at home. For example, tin foil, cling film, a t-shirt, a

pair of jeans etc. We would recommend testing around 5

materials. If it isn’t sunny enough today, you could swap

this investigation with tomorrow’s theme activity.

Extension: What have you found out? Write a conclusion

for your investigation.

cool/dark/fit/lazy/dry/lonely
