Autumn Term - Local History Study - The Beacon Point

As part of our history curriculum we walked to the Beacon Point. We planned our journey using ordinance survey maps and used four figure grid references to locate areas along the way (an opportunity to apply our geography skills!).

We found out when the point was built and compared it to photographs from over a hundred years ago. We looked at the viewpoint of Skelmersdale and discussed how the land use of the area had changed over time. Back at school, we created a knowledge organiser to help us to retain our new knowledge.
