KS3 Travel Classes - new term starts 6th January 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.
​
During this academic year we are "travelling" through the USA. We've already covered the early history from when the English Settlers arrived, through to the Declaration of Independence. We've also already learnt why the USA is a "Superpower" and learnt about their economic, military, and political might.
We've learnt all about foreign currency and exchange rates and even learned how and where the US Dollar is manufactured.
​
We've also already learnt quite a bit about some of the previous presidents as well as what's involved in becoming the president of the USA.
​
Now we are well into our "arm chair travels" and focussing more on travel and tourism.
​
Among the States we'll cover this first half term of 2025 is New York, Hawaii, Arizona and Texas (by popular student request!)
​
New students are always VERY welcome, and many return term after term.
