We will regularly update this webpage, but if you find any broken links do let us know. We would also welcome suggestions for additional links. So, if you’ve done some work on a particular St Lucia topic, let us know. We’ll need you to tell us why you found them useful and we’ll consider adding them to the list.

This website includes activities, lesson plans and links and should prove a fun addition to your St Lucia class work.
  • The QCA Innovating with Geography site contains bright ideas and more developed activities, which can be adapted for investigations of St Lucia at key stage 2.
  • Other ways of producing and labelling sketches can be found via the Worldwise pages.
  • Other ideas for developing activities can be found on the Global Dimension pages. The activities are aimed at key stage 3 students, but could be adapted for use at key stage 2.
