Industrial Wales:
The impact on the people and the environment.
This term we are learning about industrial Wales and the impact of a variety of industries on the people, economy, communities and environment.
We have begun our learning journey by exploring 'The great strike of Penrhyn,' the longest strike in Welsh history.
We are linking this learning to our class novel 'The darkest days,' about a family that leave North Wales due to the quarry strikes to work in the coal mines of South Wales.
Using drama techniques like freeze frames and tableaus to explore the characters of the ‘Great strike of Penrhyn.’
Using scripts to re-enact the events of the ‘Great Strike of Penrhyn.’
