Upper One had a fantastic time exploring part of the Exe Estuary as part of their geography topic this term. 🌊🗺
The children thoroughly enjoyed searching for crabs and shells before discovering the fascinating creatures that live beneath the surface. They were especially successful at digging for lugworms - Mr Wood even showed himself to be quite the expert!
The session ended with some exciting shrimping in the shallows, where they spotted a variety of sea creatures. Fortunately, there weren’t too many soggy feet by the end of the day!
