Learning Objectives

The aim of the project is to:

  • Introduce some factual information about the history of the valley, from the last glaciation to the recent past.
  • Convey the idea that the history is deeply affected by global events
  • Encourage students to study their environs for clues to the history

Instructions

The project is based around a walk from Newlands Activity Centre to Littetown and back. Much of the factual material is derived from Susan J. Grants book "The Story of the Newlands Valley" (2006).
