Outline of PROJECT CARDIFF:

You will be studying Cardiff, the capital and largest city in Wales. This project will take

three weeks to complete, and for each week there are three different tasks to

complete. Tasks vary from report writing, virtual tours, research, model building, book

reading, map making etc... Pupils can choose what order they wish to complete each

task in, the fixture list is only there to guide them.

Pupils will complete the three tasks. You can email one task at a time or all three
