EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Nicola Gibson | English & Humanities | January 1, 2014
Education Outside the
Classroom
Travel should be an education in
itself, what we learn from our
experiences will help influence and
mould our lives. Our mission is
that every child comes away from
a trip having learnt something
that
will
influence
them
educationally, socially or both, to
encourage them and give them a
thirst for learning.
The English and Humanities department proposes to offer the following trips over the next two years in
order to provide our students with the opportunity to experience as diverse and all-encompassing an
education in these subjects as is possible. To facilitate the exploration of English, Literature, History and
Geography in the real world and show how these subjects are essential and relevant in today’s society and
how they link into other areas of the curriculum. To expand young minds in only the way such experiences
can.
The priority is to offer as many opportunities for all students to engage in trips that that are interesting and
appropriate for them. Therefore a range of destinations and experience will be offered at a range of price
options so that every student should have the ability to attend a trip of their choice. The numbers for each
trip will be limited so that all students attending get the maximum benefit from the experience. Day trips
and residential opportunities will be offered to accommodate different student needs. These trips are
primarily aimed at year 10 and 11 students taking English Language and Literature GCSE, Geography GCSE
and History GCSE however there may be places available for interested year 12 and 13 students, especially
theatre trips for those re-sitting English GCSE, but also any other Year 12 or 13 Student who has an interest
in a particular trip. Such applications will be considered on an individual basis.
All these trips are optional and any student not wishing to attend will not be at any disadvantage in terms
of opportunities to complete coursework or exam preparation. However such trips do offer opportunities
for students to expand and apply classroom based knowledge and for more exiting coursework options.
A timetable for proposed trips is overleaf, though this is offered only as a guide and is open to change due
to availability and interest. A final timetable will be drawn up once student interest, trip and staff availability
and affordability have been determined. Prices have been estimated and where not included in a package
price transports costs should be taken to be £10 per student as an estimate.

History
Year 10 History - Silchester Roman City Walls and
Amphitheatre: English Heritage Free Entry.
Transport costs only.
Originally a tribal centre of the Iron Age Atrebates,
Silchester became the large and important Roman
town of Calleva Atrebatum. Unlike most Roman
towns, it was never re-occupied or built over after its
abandonment in the 5th century, so archaeological
investigations give an unusually complete picture of
its development (Picture – the forum as it might have appeared in the fourth century AD. This area of town
also contained residential houses, shops and workshops constructed using both timber and masonry).

River studies
Typical river day timetables can be downloaded as PDF
files. Meander studies depends whether there is enough
water in the Upper Pang at the meander site.
1.
River studies timetable without meander
2.
River studies timetable with meander
The students are split into groups of 15 led by a Rushall
Farm guide and then taken to the River Pang on a
tractor & trailer. The Pang is a tributary of the Thames and a typical lowland chalk stream. The farm
guides demonstrate both river dipping using kick nets and also measuring techniques. The students then
get into waders and carry out their own study. The main measurements are the width of the river, a depth
profile & measuring flow rate by floating an orange over a set distance. Other measurements that can be
taken include the wetted perimeter, the gradient and bedload. All equipment such as ranging poles, tape
measures, meter rules etc. is provided.
For measuring & dipping
a site on the Lower Pang
at Bradfield College or
Upper Pang at Pangfield
is used. If a meander
study is also required the
students are taken to a
meander on a different
part of the Upper
Pang. In recent years
any use of the Upper
Pang has very much
depended on river levels
at any particular time.
There is also access to a
number of sites from
Yattendon to Englefield
so comparative studies
over the length of the
river are also possible.

Iceland Geography Fieldtrek - 5 days
http://www.schoolsworldwide.co.uk/country_tailor_made/iceland.html
Blue Lagoon
This itinerary takes in all the main geographical sights of Iceland
including
the
Blue Lagoon, a tour of the south coast and a glacier trek. Accompanied by an Icelandic geography guide
pupils will learn about the geothermal and volcanic phenomena of the island.
Day 1. UK to Hella. Visit to the spectacular Blue Lagoon, where you will be able to spend the afternoon
relaxing in this Geothermal Spa. On to first night's accommodation in Hella.
Day 2. From Hella travel along the south coast towards Seljalandsfoss waterfall, a 60m drop over the cliffs
of the former coastline, were it is possible to walk behind the waterfall. Continue onwards to Skogafoss,
another very spectacular 60m high waterfall, then onwards along the coast to Reynishverfi and the stacks
and archways of Dyrholaey, formed by coastal erosion. A short hike to Hjorleifshofdi a freestanding, 221m
high tuff headland. Lastly you will visit Solheimajojull glacier, where you will do an ice-hike complete
with crampons and ice axes, into the heart of the glacier. Solheimajokul is about 8km long and 1-2 km
wide and is discharged by the river Jokulsa and is sometimes called 'The Stinking River' because of the
sulphuric acid it contains from sub-glacial high temperature areas. This evening you will return to your
huts in Hella.
Day 3. Leaving Hella, you will first visit Gullfoss (the Golden
waterfall). Next, you will travel onto Geysir to view The Great
Geyser after which the geological phenomenon is named. On
to Thingvellir National Park, driving over Gjabakka road.
Thingvellir National park a site of historical as well as
geological importance to Iceland and is the site of a rift valley
where you can witness plate tectonics in action. Then to
Nesjavellir Power Plant which generates electricity and heat
by utilizing hot water and steam from beneath the Earth's crust.
Day 4. Drive back towards Reykjavik along the south coast past Hveragerdi, famous for its greenhouses
and horticulture. Heat from natural thermal areas in the centre of the town is harnessed to maintain the
temperature of the greenhouses. Just above Hveragerdi is the Mt. Hengill volcano and you will spend the
afternoon hiking in this hyaloclastite and diorite landscape, exploring the large natural steam vents,
bubbling mudpools and hot mineral springs to be found in the area.. In the late afternoon you will head
back into Reykjavik for your final night in Iceland. Tonight if you wish, you can go for a swim in the
geothermal Reykjavik City Pool.
Day 5. Depending on your flight time, you may have the chance for some souvenir shopping in Reykjavik
this morning, before being transferred back to the airport to catch your return flight to the UK.
Without firm ides of possible numbers I cannot get an accurate quote for this trip.

This is where the observations of the great English geologist, Charles Lyell, gave the basis to the modern
geology? The Bay of Naples provides a great opportunity to study key themes at GCSE and A-level,
including Tectonic Processes, Tourism, Hazard Management, Coasts and Industry. This exciting
programme includes visits to Pompeii, the Phlegraean Fields, Capri and the Amalfi Coast - not to mention
Mount Vesuvius! A mild climate makes this the ideal area to visit at any time of year.

Day 3 Amalfi Coast - rated as one of the most beautiful lengths of coastline in the whole of Europe, it's
well worth a visit and provides a lovely contrast to the volcanic aspects of the trip. Stops can be made to
view the dramatic and precipitous coastal scenery and limestone rocks that dominate the area. There
are settlements to explore such as Positano which clings to the steep coastal slopes and Amalfi itself.

However as I am Yorkshire born
and bred and this city is one of my favorite places to be, I know it
very well. I may use the company for travel and accommodation and
alter the itinerary to suit the students who wish to go. There is so
much more to see and do if you know a place well and go a little more
off the beaten track. The house where Gut Fawkes was born, just
around the corner from York Minster. The Angel playing bagpipes
hidden in the Minster, but why? The best coffee shop for cakes in the
world. The ghost walk, the city walls, the place of execution of Robert
Aske; hung for the crows to eat and St Mary’s Gardens. The shortest
street with the longest name, the Shambles (street of butchers), the

http://www.reading.ac.uk/silchester/
About Silchester
The parish of Silchester in Hampshire, UK, is the location of a large Roman town - Calleva Atrebatum. The
Roman town, which was founded in the first century AD (nearly 2000 years ago), was built on the site of an
Iron Age town, Calleva. The Roman amphitheatre and town walls are some of the best preserved in Britain,
and are open to the public. The town was abandoned sometime after 400AD for reasons that are not fully
understood. This makes it one of only six Roman towns in Britain that are not still populated.
Archaeology at Silchester
Since 1997, the University of Reading's Department of Archaeology, led by Professor Michael Fulford and
Amanda Clarke, have been investigating one block or 'insula' of the Roman town. The aim is to provide details
of town life from its origins in the late Iron Age to the
time it was abandoned. Excavations take place every
July and August and members of the public are
welcome visit the site and take part in other on site
activities. There is a field school programme, though
you have to be over 16 unfortunately.
