Well done to these two super star pupils for their hard work recently when they decided to make a model at home which represents our current topic ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch.’
They chose to do this in their own time as a surprise to bring in to share with Miss Thomson and the rest of the class. We were all super impressed as were the rest of the school when they shared it during our Teams assembly last week.
Primary 2/3 took their learning outside this morning. They started off by completing a paired scavenger hunt in the school garden looking for images which showed different parts of The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch story. Then they went into the playground to place their pictures into the order in which they happened in the story. After this, they collected natural materials from the garden to create a lovely picture frame around their storyboard. Finally, a couple of the pairs shared their story board and frame with the rest of the class and discussed how they completed their final piece of work.

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!’
Over the last few weeks, we have been learning about creative dance. We have been learning about the 4 main dance shapes – pin, wall, twist and ball and how these can be danced at different heights.
Using the story, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch, we created our own dances using key features of the story – the cottage, the boat, the waves, the seaweed and seagulls to inspire us.
We linked our IDL and Numeracy and Maths today, when we were challenged to complete the symmetrical drawing of either the lighthouse or Mr Grinling’s picnic basket.
We used our topic, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch to inspire us to create dances today.  We learnt to create different shapes using the lighthouse, the cottage, a shell and the waves.
