Year 3's Heritage Day!

Date: 7th Jul 2022 @ 9:04am

As part of heriatge day, Year 3 answered the question 'Who are the Thompson family and more specifically who is Amanda Thompson?' We started by looking at the jounrey of the Pleasure Beach and discovered how much it has changed since it was first opened. We ordered pictures to create a timeline of the Pleasure Beach. Did you know that the Pleasure Beach was originally built on the sand dunes?

We then went on to look at the significance of the Thompson family and everything they had done for the pleasure Beach and Blackpool. We used our art skills to create an artistic fact file about Amanda Thompson. We were inspired by her achievements, especially in her achievements as a female. We found out that the role she is holds is mainly held by men! 

It was very interesting learning about Amanda Thompson and her family and we are grateful for the jobs she creates in Blackpool and the tourism that she helps to bring in to our home town.
