On Monday 9th July 2012, 66 students enjoyed a typical day at the English seaside as they set sail for sunny(?) Redcar. The purpose of the day was to produce some wonderful Creative Writing and Land Art inspired by the surroundings. Although the day was curtailed by the inclement weather, the students didn't disappoint...
The sky is a grey nothingness hanging above our freezing cold bodies. The ships looked like a distant memory slowly disappearing into the thick black fog.

Oil platforms shrouded by impenetrable fog. Jellyfish shiver
and driftwood trembles as the wind rips past. They lie in clumps,
unceremoniously thrown from the depths.

Fish torpedo through the water, unseen, unnoticed but always
there while crabs scuttle on land and mindless jellyfish beach themselves in
the sand. Gulls shriek overhead, oblivious to the wind and rain, expertly
weaving paths through the sky, diving on food as fast as bullets shot from a
gun. Emerald green seaweed blankets the beach, a wet jade carpet almost
permanently underfoot. Angered waves take my attention with their enigmatic
beauty the kind that nature has and no human can ever hope to master or
understand.
Heather Mckim
The sea roars like a voice with no mouth. It crashes against
the shore like a giant’s echoing footsteps.
Evan Mcgrath
The sea was murky blue with foamy white bubbles that rolled and rolled like a tumble dryer.
I waited patiently for my chips; hunger lingered in the air…
Beth King
The sun shies away; bullied by the clouds. Waves fall away
into nothing.
Carl Slatter
The rough sand lingers in the misty air. The sharp emerald
grass ripples above the sand.
Gemma Whitehead
Shells and shrivelled up seaweed crunched beneath my feet as
I reluctantly made my way down the beach.
Sophie Todd
The breeze whistled upon us, I felt a jagged shiver down my
spine.
