On the beach - seaside day

Tons of sand, buckets and spades, ice cream, donkeys and 40 infants running around in their swimming costumes describes a scene from a seaside on a sunny day. But this outing for the nursery children from Moorfield County Primary School in Irlam near Manchester went no further than their back yard. A year ago in July, the four- to five- year-old children and their teachers decided they wanted to go to the seaside. High costs and safety concerns ruled out the possibility, so they decided to bring the seaside to the nursery instead.
