Our book focus has been The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch by Ronda and David Armitage. We have loved discovering Mr and Mrs Grinling’s clever plans to outsmart those pesky seagulls and thinking of our own ingenious ideas too! We have enjoyed acting out and retelling the story and producing some amazing pieces of writing. We have also learned about what a trip to the British seaside used to be like in the Victorian times and compared that to modern holidays. We were very intrigued by the bathing machines! We finished our topic on the final full day of school with a fun trip to Palmer beach! We made sandcastles and played lots of games, including miniature golf, tennis, hoop tossing, hook the duck and we topped it all off with a delicious ice cream! ### Learning about the seaside [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-the-seaside/image1.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/learning-about-the-seaside/image1.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-the-seaside/image2.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/learning-about-the-seaside/image2.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/learning-about-the-seaside/image3.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/learning-about-the-seaside/image3.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/20190718_105941.jpg)](https://thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-07-12-year-3-trip-to-ufton-court) Previous ### [Year 3 trip to Ufton Court](https://thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-07-12-year-3-trip-to-ufton-court) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/D99-vQtWsAAp2Kd.jpg)](https://thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-07-16-year-4-art-week) Next ### [Year 4 Art Week](https://thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-07-16-year-4-art-week) ### News & Events - [News](https://thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
