The year 7 pupils from Ysgol Cwm Brombil weren’t able to join Us on the beach last week, so we took aspects of the beach to them. Using outdoor learning to discover nature and engage with the environment.

Every September the SeaQuest team run beach cleans and surveys for the Marine Conservation Society Great British beach clean. For the past few years we have had 70 plus volunteers coming to Porthcawl to take part. Due to the restrictions we weren’t able to invite you this year but the SeaQuest team have been busy cleaning and surveying our local beaches.
We had a few new items to add on the list.
We look forward to you joining us for 2021 beach clean and survey.

SeaQuest Went Back to School!
A wonderful wilderness time was had by Year 7 last week at Ysgol Cwm Brombil, as the pupils explored aspects of local Welsh history, when they took part in the SeaQuest Myths and Shipwrecks workshops. Linked to their curriculum, part of the experience involved sampling traditional Welsh cawl. Special thanks to the staff at Blancos Hotel & Restaurant in Port Talbot, who donated the ingredients and produced a delicious, authentic broth that really enhanced the learning experience for the children.
The students coped brilliantly with the adaptations necessary to make sure the fun learning workshops were safe. SeaQuest has also had to adjust to this new environment. Normally the pupils would come to us on a local beach to complete a workshop, however we now ‘bring the workshop to the school’. We were able to set up our outdoor educational facilities in the garden space at Ysgol Cwm Brombil. Check out our new tepee!

This is definitely one of the rules we work by! We find the kids we work with love getting out in the fresh air, whether it's hot, cold, wet, dry, windy, still, or any combination of the above! Institute for Outdoor Learning

If you're looking for a way to entertain the kids then spend some time down at Porthcawl Harbour. Enjoy looking at the school artwork on the hoardings and set the kids these challenges whilst you enjoy a well earned sitdown! Printable versions available at http://ow.ly/yFM750B5qK3

It's next Wednesday so we thought it would be the perfect time for everyone to share their photos of the beach treasures they've found? Have a look through your phone or computer, or get outside on the beach this weekend and share your favourite/weirdest/most exciting beach treasure photo with us on here! This is one of our SeaQuest explorers with a much-treasured starfish!

couldn't go past without a nod to the fantastic team of the Welsh Youth Parliament and all the work they do to identify, raise awareness of, and debate the issues facing young people in Wales. 3/3
