Going+to+the+beach


==In the olden days the children wore their clothes in the sea because they thought it was rude to have their arms showing. T hey had shell competitions on the beach and built sandcastles. They paddled instead of swimming. They only swam at the shallow end. They played beach games with balls and they had lots of fun. ==


=Today we wear swimming costumes not big baggy clothes. We go for a proper swim. We wear sunscreen and swim in between the flags. We can take our boogyboards and surf boards. Now we have life savers in case we drown or get hurt. Now we have safety signs at the beach. We also have little tents and umbrellas to sit under. We take sunscreen, beach towels and sunhats to the beach with us. Sometimes we take food to eat with us .=
