The Lighthouse Keeper book series allowed us to explore lighthouses through craft, play, mathematics and RE. We made our very own lighthouses which are now being used a night lights in the children’s bedrooms. We also had some play sessions focussing on lighthouses and the Grinlings. This featured some lovely paper basket making, lighthouses made from Lego and even a lighthouse inspired marble run. We linked Mr Grinling’s sandwiches into our own sandwich making and even used our mathematical brains to complete a tally chart and a pictograph. We even looked at a very special person’s own picnic when we learned all about Jesus feeding the five thousand. Below are some videos and pictures of the things we got up to:

The pupils were very proud of their hard work.

One pupil created a marble run inspired by the lighthouses we were learning about.

The pupils were able to practice their social and numeracy skills whilst running the beach hut.
