Our The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch Reasoning Activity encourages children to discuss the pros and cons of living in lighthouse and use this reasoning to decide whether or not they'd like to live in a lighthouse. Linked to the well-known text 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch, this resource can be used after children have read the story or researched lighthouses.
