After the half term holiday, Year 6 are going to Fountains Abbey. We’ve been learning about the human and physical features of this site and comparing them to Machu Picchu in Peru.
This year, the children are taking control of their trip. We spent the afternoon looking at maps of the site and the timings of the day so that the different groups could plan what they were going to do while we’re there.
We decided that giving each other jobs would be a good idea so each child has a role:
- map-reader
- photographer
- time-keeper
- visitor surveyor
- artist
It can be quite difficult to work in such a big group but the children did a good job discussing jobs and making sure each person was happy in the end.
