Spring 2023
To begin the term we are going back in time to discover all about the changes to the locality in our project called ‘Llanelli – A History’. In this project we will find out about the changes in the landscape, population, industry and learn about important events that took place in the surrounding area.
To begin, the pupils in Year 5 will visit one of the most notable historic properties in Llanelli. Here they will learn all about the historical significance of ‘Llanelly House’, glimpse into the rich history and discover scandalous secrets of Llanelli in the 18th and 19th Centuries.
The children will carry out research to discover how the industrial revolution helped to shape Llanelli’s landscape, learn about how Pembrey was essential in the First World War and discover how riots in 1911 made national headlines. This project will certainly get you thinking differently about places we are all familiar with!
Does this sound exciting? Remember in our EPIC sessions it's your ideas that count so get your thinking caps on ... what would YOU like to find out about our local area?
