2 weeks ago we visited the salt marsh and hung 3 shells in one of the salt water pools. Today we checked on them. They had been clean. Now have a slipper limpet, 2 barnacles, a lot of seaweed on the rope and a little worm. Exciting! Wonder what will be there in another 2 weeks?!

The new clip on microscope is going down well at the moment. Bugs gallore in the garden and much exploring to be done... really recommend them.

Dropping colours through oil and water in a jar. Looks amazing. Great water density experiment... sooo pretty! timeandtidebell.org/coloured-rain-… As always, all the other activities are here: timeandtidebell.org/learning-at-ho…

So sad. We must raise awareness to be more careful...

Nice activity pack for your family to enjoy on the hols - lots of outdoor games that are simple, but fun timeandtidebell.org/free-activity-…

Best feeling in the world being back at this. So lucky to have such great kids and parents coming along each week!

Super moment yesterday when a small beach schooler practised for much of the session to get a spark on the fire sticks. So much resilience! And a great flame 💗

We *know* our blue (or slightly muddy brown) space is fantastic for health. We see the impact all the time. It’s so important to spend time by the water - it is a special space ❤️🦀

Vital messaging! Our kids are special and have achieved so much in the past year.
