Pompeii
Fast Food outlet
Vineyard
Amphitheatre
It is a good idea to try and find out a bit about Pompeii before you go, to help you understand what happened. There is a BBC film on Clickview which you could watch,(Science/Chemistry/Pompeii) and I have just finished reading a really good book…Pompeii by Richard Harris, now available in the school library. Well worth a look.
