Journeys — how we get to places
Geography · Early Years · The School
Ways to travel
People travel in many ways. Some walk. Some ride a bike. Some go by bus or car or train. A few even travel by boat. Look outside. How many ways of travelling can you spot in five minutes?
My journey to school
Think about your trip to school today. Did you walk? Did you go by car or bus? How long did it take? Every trip is a little bit different, even for friends who live close by each other.
Why we choose a journey
People pick a way to travel for good reasons. A short trip might just be a walk. A long trip might need a car or a bus. Rain might mean a car, not a bike. The choice depends on how far and how wet it is.
Same place, different ways
Two friends can live on the very same street. Both of them go to the same school. One friend walks there. One friend goes by car. Neither way is wrong at all. People just pick what works best for their own family.
Journeys with several parts
Some journeys need more than one kind of travel. A trip to the seaside might start with a car, then a train, then a short walk. Long journeys are often made up of several smaller ones, joined together, one after another.
