Summary:"Spark your pupils' imaginations by taking them to environmental locations. Mary Muggridge, an experienced teacher and local authority adviser, presents three trip ideas for teaching using the environment. The Eden project offers the chance to visit the tropics and the desert in one disused quarry. The Blue John Cavern is a scary underground trip for six year olds. Mary Muggridge explains the importance of the pre-trip site visit. Spitalfields City Farm is just around the corner from a London school, but may as well be a world away as these pupils have never come nose to nose with a cow before. Mary Muggridge explains how trips don't have to involve too much travel, and that your local area can be a rich source of interesting trips. And finally a whole class trip to study the maths of trees at The National Arboretum at Westonbirt. The teachers use the gorgeous backdrop of the trees to plan a numeracy trail teaching functional skills by stealth."
