Airports across the world

As part of a classroom activity aimed at Year 2 children, the task is to recall and list as many international airports as they can within a 10-minute time frame. This exercise is designed to be completed individually and encourages students to tap into their memory and possibly their experiences of travel. Each correct airport name that they list will earn them two points, providing a fun and competitive edge to the learning experience. In this particular task, the focus is on recollection rather than spelling accuracy, allowing children to freely express their knowledge without the pressure of orthographic correctness.

The activity also extends beyond listing, as it prompts the students to think about the functions and activities that occur within airports and train stations. This component of the task encourages children to engage with their understanding of transportation hubs and consider the similarities and differences between these two types of facilities. It's an opportunity for them to reflect on the various roles these places play in travel and logistics, and how they connect people and destinations across the globe. This educational task is crafted by Focus Education (UK) Ltd to enhance children's geographical awareness and transport-related vocabulary.
