From the creator of Dogger, Shirley Hughes, this timeless book of seaside fun has every element of a wonderful day at the seaside. Such a beautiful book. Can conjure up those fantastic seaside days even in the depths of winter. So much for my son to think about. Shirley Hughes was born in West Kirby, near Liverpool, in 1927, and studied fashion and dress design at Liverpool Art School, before continuing her studies at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford. She started her career as a freelance illustrator in London, illustrating other writers' work, including Noel Streatfeild, Alison Uttley, Ian Seraillier and notably Dorothy Edwards's My Naughty Little Sister series. Shirley Hughes has won the Other Award, the Eleanor Farjeon Award, and the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustration twice, for Dogger in 1977 and for Ella's Big Chance in 2003. In 2007 Dogger was voted the public's favourite Greenaway winner of all time. She was Highly Commended for the Greenaway Medal for The Lion and the Unicorn in 1998. Shirley received an OBE in 1999 for services to Children's Literature, and a CBE in 2017. She was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and was the first recipient of BookTrust's Lifetime Achievement Award.

Creative Play

Can you make your own junk model boat? Does it float? Can you add a sail and blow it to make it go? Verse 1 : they hold hands in a long line. The child at the end (Arch) holds one hand against a wall to make an arch; the child at the other end is Leader. As they sing the first verse (repeating as often as necessary), Leader leads the line through the Arch. When Arch goes under his or her own arm, he or she twists round with arms crossed. Leader then takes the line through the arch formed between Arch and his or her partner, and so on. This continues until all the children have twisted round and crossed arms. Leader then crosses arms and joins hands with Arch to form a ring. Children will relish this warm tale of everyday life with illustrations overflowing with colour and vitality. This week at school we are revising writing numbers. Can you have a go at writing some numbers. You could write them on a tray of sand or salt, with chalks or on paper. You could try some of the activities in this seaside maths activity book. Can you make your own ice lollies or ice-cream. Tinned fruit makes delicious lollies. If you don’t have any lolly moulds just use a plastic cup. Try out the ice-cream recipe below.
