Pre-Prep trip to Whitby

As part of our Incredible Islands topic PP2 went on a trip to Whitby to compare life on the island of Coll with the coastal town of Whitby. We looked at land use in the town and compared facilities for tourists before walking down to the beach. At the beach we learned about the cliffs and how they erode. The children enjoyed making sketches and rubbings of the rocks as well as taking photographs. We went beach combing on the beach just as Katie Morag does in the stories that we have been reading in Literacy. We found lots of treasure including a large collection of rocks which the teachers had to carry!
