Cross Curricular Trips to Norway
Why not create further opportunities by opening the trip up to all students?
A school trip to Norway offers far more than geography alone, with destinations such as Voss providing rich learning opportunities across the curriculum. Students can explore dramatic fjord and mountain landscapes whilst linking this to Science through climate, glaciation, and renewable energy, PE through outdoor and adventure activities, and more. Elements of maths can be explored through navigation, mapping, and data collection, whilst photography, art, and media students can engage with Norway’s striking natural environments, making the trip a genuinely cross-curricular experience that appeals to a wide range of learners.
