Croagh Patrick & Westport

After learning all there is to know about Saint Patrick we will now continue our enquiry into Croagh Patrick and our local town of Westport.

Listen to James Wyatt, the man who designed Westport Town, explain to us what we are doing this week.

To begin with we will focus in on how Westport has changed from the past to now. I want you to research the different links provided and when you are done we will be making a Glogster showing:

1.  the different parts of Westport,
2. how it has changed,
3. Croagh Patrick and its importance
4. anything you want to include yourself.

When researching these key questions will point you in the right direction:

• How has Westport changed from the past to now?
•  Why would we visit it today? 
• How can we tell Westport has changed? What evidence is there to suggest this?

• Why do people consider Croagh Patrick important? 
• What are some facts about the mountain? 
• What day do many people climb it?
