Around The World Budget Sheets

Whilst undertaking our 'around the world trip' the Later Years children have been keeping a budget sheet. The children were given a budget of £5000 and needed to log costs of travel, accommodation and activities undertaken such as visiting tourist attractions.

The budget sheet produced lots of learning and presented many challenges such as:

  • Researching the lowest cost of travel and accommodation.
  • Converting currencies
  • Finding out which airliners flew where
  • Discovering some places required a Visa
  • Discovering a destinations tourist attractions and their costs.
  • Finding locations
  • How do you get to the Galapagos Islands?
