#Lesson1InvestigatingLighthouses

In this lesson the children will investigate lighthouses and how they were used before GPS navigation. They will lay a foundation of understanding before looking at Grace Darling's story in the next lesson.

Use the included engaging lesson slides to discuss how lighthouses were used to keep sailors safe along the coasts and around dangerous rocky areas. The children are challenged in the differentiated independent activities to label a lighthouse and use word banks to complete a short description of what a lighthouse, and its keeper does.

Alternatively, why not make a model of a lighthouse with your class to light up your classroom?
