Programme 370, School Tours - Practitioners' Perspectives (19-6-19)

Presented and produced by Seán Delaney

Theme tune by David Vesey

This week I follow up on last week's programme where I shared some of my own ideas about school tours by talking to two practitioners who have lots of experience of organising school tours and field trips - as teacher and as principal. Caitriona Cosgrave teaches second class in Scoil Áine Girls School in Raheny and Martin Kennedy is principal of Scoil Cholmcille in Skryne, Co. Meath.

Among the topics discussed on the programme are:

• School Tour venues and activities
• Choosing a school-wide theme for school tours; variety and continuity in tours
• Bringing parents on a school tour with children
• Creating memories on school tours
• Learning on school tours
• Going abroad for primary school tours
• Preparing for school tours
