Can you trust information from the internet?


We've learned a lot of interesting things from our coastal Show and Tell this term. Joe did a great talk about lighthouses this week and brought in lighthouse painting and model lighthouse he had made. That made us wonder how many lighthouses there were in Orkney. We looked it up on wikipedia and discovered there were 7 - but we're sure we can name more than 7!

We learned that you can't always trust information on the internet - just like when we looked at the tree octopus website.


We think there are lighthouses at Hoy High (Graemsay), Hoy Low (Graemsay), Westray, Sanday, North Ronaldsay, Copinsay, Brough of Birsay, Cantick Head (Hoy), Auskerry and Shapinsay. That's 10 that we can think of. Have we forgotten any?
