Explorers planning guide for primary school teachers: Seashore Safaris and Field Trips

Ireland’s coastline is extremely varied, ranging from sheltered shores to very exposed areas. Seashores can vary in slope and size, and can be sandy, muddy, rocky or covered in shingle. The different types of shorelines can offer a range of learning experiences for children, particularly with an emphasis on learning about their natural environment and environmental care. The key to organising a successful field trip is to be prepared. The guide and checklist can be used to get you started and to ensure the class has a fun positive learning experience on the seashore safari.
