In year 5 we have just started learning about the mystery of Flannan Isle and how 3 Lighthouse Keepers went missing in the 1900's.
In class we read a poem by Wilfred Wilson Gibson, that helped set the scene of the terrible event.

The Flannan Isles are a group of very small islands in the Outer Hebrides area of Scotland. They are very small and don't have anybody living on them except for 3 lighthouse keepers living in the lighthouse. They would live there and make sure that the lamp is lit, to warn passing ships that they are near land. But then one day, the lamp failed to light. What had happened to the 3 lighthouse keepers? Why was the lamp not lit? |
