The Lemon Thieves

5th and 6th Primary

It’s Pancake Day and Clive Custard, the famous television cook, is presenting his special Pancake programme when the recording is interrupted. An intruder steals the vital ingredient - the lemons! – and Detective Chief Inspector Frank Peel is called in to investigate.

The Lemon Thieves welcomes your students into the colourful world of television, cooking and detective investigation. On the trail to find the missing lemons and the truth about Lucy, the artist, they discover how to make pancakes and the history of Pancake Day.

Students take part! Students get the opportunity to take part in a police line-up, answer questions in Frank Peel’s general knowledge quiz and sing the Pancake song.

The Student workbook includes writing exercises on describing people and job vocabulary, making a wanted poster and identifying the artist. Speaking exercises include presenting a cookery show and “What do you want to be?”
