From heavy industry in the south to the mudflats in the north and the rolling countryside in between, we live in an area that can teach us so much, from farming to industrialisation to the importance of nature, from the history of Britain to the future of power generation.
The ‘Local Landscapes’ resources will allow students to:
- Learn about generating electricity along the Severn and then design and build their own wind turbine
- Produce persuasive writing about their local area: encouraging others to visit, conserve the environment or buy local produce
- Try their hand at making a putcher as part of learning about farming and fishing
- Get out and about in the area and explore Woodwell Meadows or ride the scenic Severn Beach Railway Line
