To tie in with the summer holidays, here are a collection of ICT activities related to taking young children on a trip to the seaside.

First up is the fantastic Snaith Primary School website at www.snaithprimary.eril.net. Click on the 'Beside the Sea' icon to access a range of seaside activities. The seaside DIY kit is the best activity for young children as it encourages them to use their drag and drop mouse skills to recreate their own seaside scene by adding characters and objects on to a beach background.

Other areas of the site include a collection of old seaside photos, a 360o panoramic view from Blackpool Tower and some creative writing frames based on exotic beach locations.
