Llandaff Cathedral in Wales plans to build an oyster-shaped visitor center. Wales has several mountain ranges including Snowdonia in the north which contains Snowdon, the highest peak. The Black Mountains are located in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Cambrian Mountains in mid-Wales have only one main road crossing them and are remote.

The valleys north of Cardiff and towns like Merthyr Tydfil were historically home to coal miners and industries but now have smaller populations.
This document provides a summary of the history of Britain from the Stone Age through to modern times. It describes the early inhabitants of the British Isles like the Stonehenge builders and Celts. It then outlines the Roman invasion and occupation, as well as the subsequent Anglo-Saxon and Viking invasions.

The document discusses divisions in Irish society between nationalists and unionists along religious, economic, social, and political lines. Nationalists are typically Roman Catholic and Irish speakers who faced discrimination in areas like land ownership, employment, and social class. Unionists are usually Protestant, of British descent, and controlled most businesses and elected positions. Society was sharply divided along religious and ethnic lines, with nationalists generally poorer and facing greater unemployment than the Protestant unionist elite.
This document discusses the linguistic and cultural differences between Northern and Southern England. It notes that the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that settled the North and South originated from different tribes and thus developed distinct dialects from early on. Historians and linguists have studied the linguistic differences between the North and South, including variations in vowel pronunciation and the location of certain boundaries. Cultural stereotypes that developed over time include views of Northerners as unintelligent and uncultured and the North as dreary and industrial compared to a sophisticated South. However, some stereotypes see Northerners as friendlier. George Orwell also commented on the rivalry between Northern and Southern identities in his work.
The document provides examples of multiplication word problems and their solutions using manipulatives like counters or tiles. It presents word problems involving situations like Samantha saving money each week, the number of tennis balls in multiple cans, ingredients needed for smoothies, and more. Students are guided to use counters or tiles to model and solve each problem.
