From the creator of Dogger, Shirley Hughes, this timeless book of seaside fun has every element of a wonderful day at the seaside. Alfie's painting at the Big School's Harvest Fair is judged worthy of one of the main prizes. But Alfie is more taken with the consolation prize... Sound discrimination: traffic sounds , horns honking , watery sounds , waves crashing , beach sounds , seagull screeching , digging sounds .Wibbly Pig Likes to Have Fun– Wibbly Pig visits the beach and learns that surprises can be scary but also fun and that dropping ice cream can be sad. 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. Our first activity would involve talking to the children about their holidays. Many of them will choose to visit the beach as their favourite place, but they will all have different memories and experiences. This simple idea is always a loved one! Simply hide shells and other beach treasures in the sand for children to find and sort. From paddling to picnics, from sandcastles to beach games - this is the perfect book for summer celebrations.

Next time you go to the beach can you build a sandcastle? Can you make some model flags for your sandcastle? Help the children to clap with a steady beat. Once they are familiar with the song they could try the traditional game (it works best if adults are Arch and Leader).Shirley began to write and draw her own picture books when her children were young. Her first book - Lucy and Tom's Day - was published in 1960, and she followed it with, among others, Dogger, and the Alfie series. Her books include the wordless picture book Up and Up, collection of rhymes and poems Out and About, and for the very young The Nursery Collection. Wow Beeches! It looks like you had a super time with your learning at School and home. Well done and enjoy celebrating your fantastic efforts. For an extra special treat, take a look at Daisy's video (web link below) where she managed to teleport herself to the beach! Well done Daisy. It is fab! 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. This is a wonderful story about Lucy and Tom's trip to the seaside. Now that it can be considered somewhat 'old fashioned', its charm is enhanced even greater.

She also collaborated with her daughter, Clara Vulliamy, on the Dixie O'Day series; which saw Shirley with an illustrator for the first time with Shirley writing the text and Clara creating the illustrations. 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.

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.
