Topic

 This term, through Geography  we are focusing on  Weather and Tourism.  We have worked in groups to generate questions that we would like to answer.

 

During History lessons we will be looking at how Oxwich has changed over the decades. We have been doing our own research at home about this topic. Soon we will put all this information together and create a class book about the history of Oxwich.We will be using photographs, the 1861 census, booiks and the Internet to research the history of Oxwich. It was a major tourist attraction for many years.
