Outdoor Learning
The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch

As part of our IDL topic we are focusing on the book called The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. Today we took our learning outdoors and discussed the different things that Mrs Grinling included in Mr Grinlings lunches. The pupils were able to identify the healthy lunch items and the not so healthy lunch items. Following this, they learned about different vegetables that can be planted at this time of year and how they grow. Pupils then followed instructions to prepare the soil and plant seeds (runner beans, carrots and parsnips) which we will continue to look after and harvest closer to the summer.

The pupils also had excellent fun using the mud kitchen to retell different parts of the story. Some pupils made coffee and peach surprise just like Mrs Grinling did for Mr Grinling.

‘Go and get more water for his coffee!’
‘We are going to make the best peach surprise ever for Mr Grinling.’
‘We need fruit for our peach surprise. Look at this!’
