Our topic next half term is 'Travel Agents'. In preparation for this topic we would like you to try and do some of the following activities:
- Visit a travel agents and collect a range of brochures. If the travel agents are not busy talk to them about their job and where people choose to go on holidays. Where are the most popular? The most unusual? Make some notes to help you remember what you find out!
- Have a look at some travel websites: www.firstchoice.co.uk, www.travelzoo.com, www.travel supermarket.com
- Visit the local library and find some non-fiction or story books about other countries.
- Find some photographs of places that you have been on holiday. What do they tell you about the weather and the people? How is the place you went on holiday different from Coventry?
- As part of your project later in the topic you will be comparing two locations: one abroad and one in the UK. Some of the places abroad you could look at are: America, India, Japan or Africa. Places where you could go on safari, skiing, to the beach or sightseeing. Try to collect some brochures, advertisements or information about these kinds of holidays.
Everything you collect or find out can be used as part of the project and you can record it any way you wish: in a notebook, in a folder or by using ICT.
Have fun!
