Topic

Our topic for the academic year will be Llanrhidian This term, through Geography  we are focusing on  people and places.  We have worked in groups to generate questions that we would like to answer.

 

During History lessons we will be looking at how Llanrhidian 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 Llanrhidian.

 

Miss Arnold went to Portsmouth this year. She was lucky enough to meet some ofthe team involved with raising a Tudor warship called the Mary Rose.  We are going to meet one of the divers and learn about King Henry the V111 and his warship.
