Learning outside of the classroom helps young people to develop a real understanding of what place and environment mean.
It may seem surprising in an age of tourism and frequent travel, but older people will tell you that many 11- to 16-year-olds are given less freedom today to discover and explore places themselves than they were 50 years ago.
Fieldwork can open young people’s minds to what is around them. It makes a significant contribution to students’ intellectual development but it also contributes to effective learning which includes aspects such as responding, valuing and organising.
Fieldwork can help students to experience the ‘WOW’ factor of a mountain or valley view and express feelings about places and landscapes. It can stimulate an interest in the environment and the outdoors which can be life-changing.
Our focus is on the Eastern Free State because of its rich diversity and application to geographical subject content. These geography school trips offer teachers and students alike a chance to immerse themselves in their subject matter.
Coming face-to-face with primary evidence from the topics covered in the classroom helps students to cement learning and discover the real-world challenges.
Leave the classroom and discover the world through the eyes of a geographer. With so much to explore, see and do, the real question is where to go? South Africa is a special country with many outdoor ‘museums.’ But nothing can beat the topography and history of the Eastern Free State and the Golden Gate National Park.
From unique landscapes to walking in the footsteps of dinosaurs, this area is tailor-made for a Geography School Trip. Come face-to-face with the topics which you have covered in the classroom.
This tour will link your human, environmental and physical geography curriculum no matter the age or level of your students.
