Investigation ~ Accommodation

Watty W Weasel has found a few web sites with photos of houses in Anse La Raye. Ask other groups to look out for any photos of houses on the island they might come across.

Remember, the families are not offering big posh accommodation but the chance to live with ordinary families in the village and round about. Visitors need to know what the houses look like.

You also need to show visitors general scenes around the area so look out for those too.

A good way to find if pictures have been added since his search, is to go to www.google.co.uk and click on the image tab. In the search box write "Anse La Raye" and it will bring up any images to do with Anse La Raye. Find out more here.

Stella Stoat has organised all of Watty's searches and added notes.

Clicking on the icons will take you straight to the web sites. If there is more than one click on the hyperlink - the orange writing.

Remember: If you use any of these images in a presentation you should always copy the internet address and display it to acknowledge where it came from.

 

This is a series of images from a tourist's visit to St Lucia. It includes some pictures of houses. Scroll through the pages. You might like to use several of them to provide good overall taste of the island. Click on a thumbnail to enlarge it.

Here are photos from Anse La Raye

... and some more! Scroll down to find them.

Think if any of these might be useful for other groups too.

 

 

This shows photos from a Caribbean Cruise. This page shows the stop off at St Lucia. There are two pictures in Anse La Raye but others will be useful.

 

This is a very useful site prepared by the ICT Team from Oxfordshire Education Department with a project on St Lucia.

There are two pages of useful pictures for all parts of this Venture. Search out useful ones for your part of the project. Clicking on a thumbnail picture will produce a bigger one.

 

 

This is another page from the Oxford project. If you get a Password box just cancel it or it is safe to click on 'Open'. It will open up a page with some information about houses on it and suggestions for comparing life in St Lucia with Oxford. You could change that to your home town or village or just Britain in general.

Plan and design a house to stand up to possible hurricanes!

A big problem with housing in St. Lucia is that the island can sometimes be hit by hurricanes or at least tropical storms. Because many of the islanders are poor their houses have not been built in the best way to withstand such storms. There was a lot of information on a site that has now disappeared but Stella Stoat copied all the images. Click on the icon to view them.

Copy or save the pictures and then design a house for you visitors. You might like to tackle this just as drawings or to plan and design one for D&T. Alternatively you could design an advert as builders of 'Hurricane safe houses'. Think of a good logo too.

Find out more about hurricanes.

This second site shows the progress of a hurricane over a few days and how to prepare for it. If possible view the 'Standard Multimedia Version' to 'watch' the television weather forecast and the animations.
