"The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch"  - A Lighthouse Visit

Year 2 and 3 had a wonderful trip to Leasowe Lighthouse this week. Our Tour Guide told us all about Mr and Mrs Williams the last Lighthouse keepers and how the Lighthouse was built in 1763! The children had a fantastic time learning how the Lighthouse was made and how Mr and Mrs Williams kept the ships safe sailing into Liverpool. Our trip has enriched our learning about Lighthouses and brought ‘The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch’ story to life.

Sandwich Making!

As part of our cross-curricular work, and continuing with the “Lighthouse Keepers Lunch”, Year 3 have enjoyed creating jam sandwiches this afternoon, doing well to follow the recipe. Plenty of butter and lashings of jam, were the order of the day, although the tricky part was to cut them into four equal squares!

Skills for Survival

In P.E. this week, the Year 3 children extended their learning in History on The Stone Age by practising some of the skills that would be necessary for their survival. Firstly, in a devised game, the children made sure that they could run away quickly from danger and then they practised throwing a spear (a javelin) accurately and powerfully at their prey. Stone Age people would have needed to run quickly whilst avoiding obstacles or avoiding others, so the Year 3 children completed obstacle courses before dragging their bison or deer to their cave. They did have to avoid being caught by a ferocious tiger (Mrs. K) on the way. Being able to jump high to grab fruit and berries off trees would be a useful skill so our Stone Age children practised that skill too. Well done Year 3, your skills would equip you for Stone Age life.
