Lancashire's fabulous free natural resource of an accessible coastline can be used by settings to provide unique learning opportunities.

We will also explore how beach schooling can support all aspects of the early years' curriculum.

This session will be held on the beach. Please ensure you have appropriate outdoor clothing including a long-sleeved top, waterproof clothing, suitable footwear for the weather and a change of footwear for indoors.
