Children from Years 4 and 5 at St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Newton Aycliffe have made a fantastic start to the new academic year with memorable visits to Seaham Beach.
The trips provided pupils with the opportunity to learn outdoors, explore the coastline and enjoy time together with their classmates as they settled into the new school year.
Exploring the Beach and Getting Creative
During their visits, the children took part in a range of activities designed to encourage creativity, teamwork and exploration.
Pupils enjoyed creating impressive rock sculptures along the shoreline, searching for sea glass and taking in the sights and sounds of the coast. They also spent time walking along the beach and exploring their surroundings.
Fun by the Sea
No trip to the beach would be complete without getting a little closer to the water, and the children thoroughly enjoyed splashing and paddling in the sea.
The visits were filled with smiles, laughter and plenty of memorable moments, giving pupils a wonderful opportunity to spend time outdoors while enjoying new experiences with their friends.
A Fantastic Start to the School Year
Staff were delighted with the enthusiasm and positive attitudes shown by all the children throughout the visits.
The seaside adventures provided a brilliant way to begin the academic year, helping pupils build friendships, create lasting memories and embrace new opportunities for learning beyond the classroom.
With such a positive start to the term, everyone at St Mary's Catholic Primary School is looking forward to many more exciting experiences throughout the year ahead.
