Welcome to Pennar School - Wales!
 
Our address is:
 
Pennar Community Junior School,
Owen Street,
Pennar,
Pembroke Dock SA72 6SL
Pembrokeshire
Wales
 
Your contact names will be Mr. B. Jones, Mrs E. Jones and Mr. D. Ainsworth
The project will involve pupils from Year 3 and from Year 6 at our school.
Year 6 are 10-11 years old, Year 3 are 7-8 years old.
 
Our school is located on the outskirts of the town of Pembroke Dock -
population approximately 10,000 - which is on the South bank of the River
Cleddau which flows into the Irish Sea.  As the crow flies we are 5 miles
from the coast.  We are very close to the local oil refineries and to the
Ferryport but the surroundings are rural.  We are approximately 50m above
sea level.
 
Our latitude is 51.41N our longitude 4.57W
 
We are very involved in projects related to the environment with schools in
other European countries, this project will complement our work.  We are
particularly looking at the quality of water in our respective countries.

Pembrokeshire is a well known tourist area which encompasses the
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and numerous sandy beaches.  Being on the
extreme West of Wales the climate is mild but also damp.
 
To date this winter has been wet but mild, we have not recorded any
temperatures below freezing during school time, although we have had 3
frosty nights.  We will let you know how many wet days we have in this part
of the world - it will probably be lots!
 
Time: We will be taking our measurements at 10.30 a.m. each morning.
 
Equipment: We currently have the following equipment which we will be using for these
readings:
 
    Maximum/minimum thermometer
    Rain gauge
    Aneroid barometer
    Simple anemometer
    Wind sock
 
These will be located in the School grounds to the North and the South of
the School.
 
We look forward to the project for 2000 and renewing acquaintance with
friends around the world!
