Please do not treat a museum visit as an ‘outing’; it should be an educational Visits should be planned and executed experience. differently to classroom sessions, giving the students more scope for independent learning It is important to understand what you want and creative understanding with a little more from your visit and how best the site can cater freedom in a thought-provoking environment. for that need.

Time should be allowed for our castle sites by prior arrangement). individual exploration, for resting, and for discussion. For supporting the visit at least one accompanying adult to every 10 children is recommended. It is essential that each pupil should be able to see the objects, hear the speaker and join in the discussions without feeling ignored or distracted. Age of pupils Our sites are suitable for all age ranges. Please consider the nature of the site when planning your visit and the age of your group. Older students will need a strong structure to the visit with lots to keep them occupied during the visit. Young children will gain much from a carefully prepared, short visit. 5 Teachers Guide to Museum Visits What we offer Our sites include: Archive Visits Jersey Museum and Art Gallery Visits to the Jersey Archive can also be Maritime Museum and Occupation arranged.

The Consequences of Mobility Roskilde: Roskilde University, Department of Language and Culture 93-105 ISBN: 87-7349-651-0 http://www.ruc.dk/isok/skriftserier/mobility/ © Janie Beswick and the Editors, 2005 The Portuguese diaspora in Jersey Janie Beswick University of Southampton, Southhampton, United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract This present paper concerns recent migrations from the Portuguese mainland and from the island of Madeira to the English and French speaking territory of Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands. On-going research is being carried out with a group of students from the Jersey community and studying at the University of Southampton. Through a series of informal discussions and class participation exercises, a detailed evaluation of both behavioural and attitudinal evidence pertaining to these languages in context is carried out. Moreover, the students own observations about their home community’s sociolinguistic network and notions of identity afford a valuable insight into the hierarchical and attitudinal factors which determine the interpersonal communication strategies employed on a day-to-day basis. To this end, tentative conclusions are made regarding the ethnolinguistic vitality of the younger members of this particular community. Introduction The movement of peoples across the globe is not a new phenomenon. In the past, new lands were discovered and indigenous populations were, ultimately, subjugated by the more powerful invaders. Thus, for example, the Romans voyaged to the Iberian Peninsula, conquered and colonised the territory and, as the politically dominant ethnic group, imposed their vernacular on the native populations, what Mar-Molinero terms an imposed ‘top-down’ colonising process (2003: 3).

  • The Jersey Heritage Answersheet
    THE JERSEY HERITAGE Monuments Quiz ANSWERSHEET 1 Seymour Tower, Grouville Seymour Tower was built in 1782, 1¼ miles offshore in the south-east corner of the Island. Jersey’s huge tidal range means that the tower occupies the far point which dries out at low tide and was therefore a possible landing place for invading troops. The tower is defended by musket loopholes in the walls and a gun battery at its base. It could also provide early warning of any impending attack to sentries posted along the shore. 2 Faldouet Dolmen, St Martin This megalithic monument is also known as La Pouquelaye de Faldouët - pouquelaye meaning ‘fairy stones’ in Jersey. It is a passage grave built in the middle Neolithic period, around 4000 BC, the main stones transported here from a variety of places up to three miles away. Human remains were found here along with finds such as pottery vessels and polished stone axes. 3 Cold War Bunker, St Helier A German World War II bunker adapted for use during the Cold War as Jersey’s Civil Emergency Centre and Nuclear Monitoring Station. The building includes a large operations room and BBC studio. 4 Statue of King George V in Howard Davis Park Bronze statue of King George V wearing the robes of the Sovereign of the Garter. Watchtower, La Coupe Point, St Martin 5 On the highest point of the headland is a small watchtower built in the early 19th century and used by the Royal Navy as a lookout post during the Napoleonic wars. It is sturdily constructed of mixed stone rubble with a circular plan and domed top in brick.
