Geography
On the 24 th September fifty, Geography GCSE pupils
went on the first humanities trip of the year to
Betws‐y‐Coed in North Wales. The purpose of the
visit was to look at the original site of Betws‐y‐Coed
and consider some of the reasons the settlement
first began. We also looked at the shape of
Betws‐y‐Coed and how this has changed over
time and finally in the afternoon we looked at
why Betws‐y‐Coed is a thriving tourist village.
This was the best bit as it meant we could
pop in and
out of the tourist facilities (shops!!) and
sample, the tourist products (cakes and
ice‐cream!! ).

PGL trip to South of France 2011 – Aug 4 th ‐12 th
We are looking forward to our next adventure abroad in the summer of 2011. We are returning for a
second time with PGL to the south of France for a water sports trip. This time round we are going to
be staying in two centres so that we can canoe down
the Ardeche and then go on to the Med to do some
sailing, snorkelling and banana boat riding with a visit to
a water park thrown in too! ☺
There are at present 30 pupils booked to be travelling,
some who came on our last visit and some for whom
this will be their first time with PGL and possibly their
first time abroad.
We do have the availability to take up to 4 more pupils,
let me know if your child would be interested in joining
the adventure this summer and we will get you all the
information.
