Which Curriculum Subjects do you cater for?
Rondo Travel meticulously designs its overseas trips to Amsterdam with a deep understanding of the importance of History in the curriculum, ensuring students receive a rich and immersive educational experience.
Here's how we deliver the History curriculum subject during our school trips:
-Historical Sites and Museums Visits: Our itineraries include visits to significant historical sites and museums such as the Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum. These excursions offer students the opportunity to engage directly with historical artifacts, documents, and narratives, providing a tangible connection to the past. The Anne Frank House, for instance, offers a profound look into the experiences of Jewish people during World War II, while the Rijksmuseum showcases the Dutch Golden Age, providing insights into the socio-economic conditions of the time.
-Educational Tours with Expert Guides: We arrange for knowledgeable local guides to lead educational tours, offering historical context and insights that textbooks alone cannot provide. These guides are skilled at connecting historical events to the physical locations students are visiting, enhancing understanding and engagement with the subject matter.
-Interactive Learning Experiences: Recognizing that active participation enhances learning, we include interactive experiences such as the Ajax Stadium Tour. While not historical in the traditional sense, such tours offer insights into cultural and social history, reflecting the evolution of leisure and sports within society.
-Customized Itineraries to Match Curriculum Needs: Understanding that each school may have different curriculum focuses, we tailor our tours to meet specific historical themes or periods you wish to emphasize. Whether it's focusing on the Dutch Resistance during WWII, exploring maritime history, or delving into the history of art and science in the Dutch Golden Age, we adapt our tours to suit your educational objectives.
-Pre-Trip Resources and Post-Trip Support: To maximize the educational impact, we provide teachers with pre-trip resources to introduce historical themes and context before the trip. Upon return, we suggest post-trip activities to help students process and reflect on their learning experiences, facilitating the integration of their on-site experiences with the curriculum.
-Inclusivity and Accessibility: Recognizing the importance of inclusivity, we ensure that students with disabilities or special educational needs (SEN) are supported throughout the trip. This commitment means selecting accessible historical sites and modifying activities where necessary to ensure that every student can fully participate in the learning experience.
-Safety and Risk Assessments: Safety is paramount on our trips. We conduct thorough risk assessments for all activities, especially those involving historical sites, to ensure a safe and secure learning environment for students and peace of mind for teachers.
By integrating these elements, Rondo Travel ensures that History curriculum subjects are delivered effectively, engagingly, and safely, making every school trip a valuable and memorable educational experience.
