We have been learning about the story of Grace Darling in our topic lessons. We found out that she lived in a lighthouse and watched out for ships that might be in trouble. One stormy night she saw a boat had hit some rocks and had begun to sink. Grace called her dad for help and the two of them went out to see in their little canoe boat, even though the weather made it very dangerous.  Grace and her dad managed to save 9 crew members who they brought back to their lighthouse and looked after until the morning.

Year 2 have been acting out the events of that evening and we have been discussing how brave and kind Grace Darling and her dad were.
