Inspired by the main characters, Flint and Tilly, and their idea of meeting for a seaside picnic with their dogs, the children decided to host their own pretend picnic indoors! The class worked together to plan the perfect picnic, choosing delicious foods like sandwiches, sausage rolls, cucumber, carrots, and, of course, cake! The children’s imagination and creativity shone as they recreated the fun of a beachside get-together, complete with laughter and lively conversations. It was a wonderful way to bring the story to life and explore the themes of friendship and fun! ### Seaside picnic classroom [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/4941615D-3E45-40E3-80B5-0D5526EC7A12.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/4941615D-3E45-40E3-80B5-0D5526EC7A12.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/AC306B18-97DE-4FB6-BDF8-606D26592F4A.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/AC306B18-97DE-4FB6-BDF8-606D26592F4A.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/161BF72D-5FFA-4F16-9F96-995B19C41E87.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/161BF72D-5FFA-4F16-9F96-995B19C41E87.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/A7ABE543-33C0-47CB-94E4-8B38448DDDD2.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/A7ABE543-33C0-47CB-94E4-8B38448DDDD2.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/F6132CDA-312D-4DC2-8AD5-1AAEF8BCB42A.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/F6132CDA-312D-4DC2-8AD5-1AAEF8BCB42A.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/85B89EC8-492E-4058-A9BB-CE65E1197F87.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/85B89EC8-492E-4058-A9BB-CE65E1197F87.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/2EA30408-44CF-4E29-ADA6-95784FB56068.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/seaside-picnic-classroom/2EA30408-44CF-4E29-ADA6-95784FB56068.jpeg) [ Boccia Club](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/news/2024-10-03-boccia-club) [Year 6 Play-Doh Mountain Learning ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/news/2024-10-09-year-6-play-doh-mountain-learning) ### News - [Latest News](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/events) - [Newsletters](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/newsletters) ![Gillibrand Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/logo/gillibrand_logo_2.png) #### Gillibrand Primary School Grosvenor Road Chorley PR7 2PJ 01257 274983 #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) © Copyright 2015–2026 Gillibrand Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
