KS3 Travel Classes - new term starts 12 May 2025

Fun, interactive travel classes which are actually geography, history, & social studies in disguise.
​
Aimed at roughly ages 11-14 although we do have a handful of very engaged slightly younger children.
​
From May through to the Summer break we will be looking at Great British days out (which could come in very handy for actual days out during the holidays!) The classes will involve:
​
-
Map skills and journey planning, including how to get around when at the destination by either walking or using public transport
-
Getting inspired about things to see and do at that week's destination
-
Calculating entry fees etc and working out costs and budgets.
​
It would be useful for students to have access to an online map or app for hands-on learning.
While I will be screen sharing and demonstrating, students will learn best by "doing" not just watching.
​
Over the 9 weeks we will "travel to":
​
-
Bath
-
Oxford
-
Cambridge
-
Nottingham
-
Manchester
-
Inverness
-
Belfast
-
Swansea
-
.... and the final destination of their choice.
​
A PDF work book is provided so that students can record their plans and itineraries.
​
New students are always VERY welcome, and many return term after term.
