In the UK if you see another school on a trip it's like ww3
yeeeeees, that is so true
Yeah i remember Blackpool Pleasure Beach held some kind of schools day and pretty much all the schools in the area sent their y10s to blackpool for the day. Need i say more?
@@parakeetparakoot 🤣🤣
i'm from Barcelona and Sammmmmeeeeee
@@victoriamatiescasados1849 its not like the uk tho i am sorry uk schools are the best for banta and beefing other schools
I'm British and once (in primary) we went to the Co-op that was literally on the same road as our school to investigate FairTrade food products 😂
We did that sort of thing to in primary 7 and our teacher said to us "what i wish i learnt in primary or even highschool is that u can get of brand food and drinks that taste the same at a lower price" so she took us to the shop across the road (nisa) and showed us an off brand coke and and brand coke of brand for 20p and the on brand for £1. I still wonder why the head teacher was ok with that trip 😂 😂
I remember going to waitrose for a school trip in primary school to learn about fair trade too 😂
In primary school, we went to a Greggs down the road to buy a doughnut to learn about money and practise maths.
Yeah we went to the local Tesco to do the farm to fork thing
lmaoo that sounds like a typical British trip
So part of my GCSE history syllabus was “history around us”. The trip was literally a walk around my town. I walked past my house.
Did that myself, we were looking at architecture. Ended up studying my grandparents house.
Our school had something similar for geography, the GCSE students took the train into the nearest city (10 mins) and had to count bins or cars for 6 hours
We went to Wales to study the culture and how mountainous land gets built on. I walked past my grandparents house and my cousin's decided to run out and say hi. God it was embarrassing
I did that in primary school, but we compared before and after the war, so we saw pictures of the burned down or burning buildings
We did old Aberdeen walk 3 years in a row with the same dude and workbooks. It was walking for about 5 miles around town and seeing stuff we see going to school. We had to wear are uniforms and walk in a single file line with no talking. It sucked.
In Glasgow, Scotland almost all kids have been to the Glasgow Science centre a few hundred times, it’s a right of passage.
Fatimah Amin science centre rules!
Olivia Simpson I agree, but I’ve been there so many times I feel like I know everything about it 😂
In primary it was literally a normal thing to go to Dundee science centre many times a year! 😂
I used to live in Argyll and Bute & even i went there a few times with school 😂
i was literally thinking of this throughout the entire video 😭
I feel like this video was just Evan being sad that he didn't get touch a block of ice and play as a Victorian.
When the whole of year 6 went on PGL for the week, the year 5s got to sit on the benches in morning assembly for a whole week! which was a school trip in itself!
YES! You felt like a gangster, sitting on a bench!
What is PGL?
We went to center PARC's in year 5 and PGL in year 7
Sitting on the benches IS EVERYTHING
My class went to PGL in year 5, we went to London in year 6
Sum up Americans in one sentence:
"That's very cool, but ours had big guns."
Omg, your comment is cool but we have guns
When I was in year one we went to this place where we were taught like victorians, we had to write the alphabet in a fancy way and if we smiled the teacher person would glare at you, holding this big ass cane. It was kinda scary lol
The black country museum?
Amelia Ford I went to the black country museum and did that so probably
My school did the same when I was in p2 which i'm pretty sure is year one. We went somewhere in Edinburgh I think and I just remember that the women were really scary but me and my friends couldn't stop laughing caus one of them had a pillow stuffed up the back of her dress lmao 😂 but fr tho it was terrifying, like i swear they put one of the kids in a replica punishment thing
I’d probably cry
Simply put:
In England, school trips are used to inhance the learning, especially in Primary school. For example: the Holocaust centre, Magna. Some Primarys have holidays. But, mostly, they are again used for learning purposes. Teachers do tell the kids that if they're naughty then they'll not be able to go on the trip but it's always a lie. My Primary school faced too much hate from the parents if they kept a kid behind.
In Secondary, they are more recreational. There are more holidays in Secondary, which are usually for all years or most years. There are more trips for lower down in the school because GCSE students have to focus more on their learning. However, oddly, holidays are more common for the older years, especially language students. In Secondary, the naughty kids do get kept behind. They are given work to do and expected to treat it like a normal day.
Schools don't have the funding to be able to own a coach, so the cost of the coach is split and added to the total cost for the parents to pay.
For both schools, uniform is required depending on a trip. We're told we 'represent the school' so must look smart. Unless it is to a memorial, uniform is not required on holidays.
One time I went on a school trip on World Book Day, so our entire year group had to come to school in our uniform while everyone else was in costume or in their own clothes. We weren't even allowed to get changed, even though the trip was only part of the school day. The "representing the school" thing is too real :(
really secondary schools trips were almost always coursework related for us during GCSE and a level
At the school I work at, they have kept 3-5 pupils behind each year from trips.
@@Inucroft They once kept a guy behind from a trip because not that he was a bad kid, far from it, but that he was so SMUG about being a good kid. Not sure what that taught him.....
Yeah, in Primary we would have a residential at the end of year six to a nearby by place - usually for a week. In Secondary school, we would have an "activities week" at the end of the year with several different trips that you could go on. For example, Thorpe Park or Harry Potter Studios,. We would also have international trips in Secondary school that you had to do a particular subject to go on. For example, if you took History you could go to NYC and Washington DC for a week; if you took Geography, you could go to Iceland for a week, and if you took French you could go on the exchange. These would usually cost from £1-2000 Also, we had a one day trip to Ypres in Belgium once.
Excuse you “does Scotland have zoos?” Sir Edinburgh zoo has pandas for goodness sake, and the whole thing is built on a hill so all the animals get the right air or something.
Yes! I'm from England and Edinburgh zoo is an abstolute highlight!
Yes you are so right Edinburgh is one of the best zoos I have ever been too 😎
Glasgow had a zoo. It was not good for visitors or animals.
Then again, Glasgow can sometimes feel like a zoo! 😂
ThingsAreFun Edinburgh zoo was the highlight of every Scottish kids life
Highland Park in Kingussie has polar bears! It's a bit like Blair Drummond Safari park :)
I’m so upset no one else had to wear school uniform to school trips, we had to wear them everywhere we went apart from in secondary school when we went to Alton towers but we still needed wristbands with our school on it
When i went to Alton Towers with school we had to give our number to a teacher who has a phone (thats only used for school trips) so they could ring us if anything went wrong.
I had to wear uniforms for all my school trips only certain trips we didn’t have to wear uniform like ww2 trip(we wore ww2 evacuee outfits), end of school trips (so fare in secondary) and the day trip to France.
I’m American, but since I went to a College Preparatory Charter school, for both middle and high school, (class of 2020), we still had to wear our uniforms to every single place we visited (thankfully not to Ecuador, but everywhere else.)
We worn uniforms on our school trips too
I live in America but my school had uniform (it's becoming more common for public schools to have uniforms here). We had to wear uniform if it was a day trip but if it was an overnight thing you didn't have to.
My high school sent us on a trip to the nearby prison twice. I mentioned it once at work like it was a normal thing and everyone was shocked 😂 I had to get one of my school friends to verify that it was true!
Once the prisoners put on a play for us and then we split into groups and got to talk to the prisoners and a tour of the prison. The second time the prisoners had learnt about Anne Frank and put on a display for us and made a model of the annex. Looking back it's crazy!
i swear every secondary school has a trip to France lol
I think it's because it's the cheapest holiday in a foreign country and they teach French, at every secondary school. I bet at least one of your French teachers, went as well. When I went, we went to Boulogne, which also has some history behind it, which of course then mean't that both of the History teachers at our school, also tagged along.
My school had a year 8 trip to France where everyone camped of 4 days and then they missed the ferry home. I also got a 4 day trip to Germany instead of work experience
For us it was only the history students and I don't do history, so...
I'd have liked the trip far more, if it wasn't for them. Honestly, the 4 teachers that went, had to be the most boring and strict teachers, that we had in my school.
We had went in year 6
In year 4 in Primary School I remember going on a school trip to Cadbury’s World. It was cool.
Candy Eggs same but year 3
Me too
I went there in year 7
I went with my parents and grandparents when I was about that age, but I bet it would have been so much better as a school trip with a bunch more other kids my age...
Candy Eggs that’s the best trip ever
I studied Mandarin for GCSE and when I was 15 I went to China for 10 days on a school trip which was AMAZING. Was the first time I had even flown anywhere! I also did a lot of music at school and they ran music tours abroad every 2 years. We went to Croatia and Bosnia for a week on one of those tours which was beautiful. My school also ran trips to Africa every 2 years for the Sixth Formers where you could go and help build schools and that out there. That trip I didn't go on but I had friends who had and they said it was amazing. Some smaller tripes we went on were going to France a couple of times, once for a language trip and the other was to Paris for an art trip. We also did an outward bounds adventure training kind of thing where we went to a facility in Wales for a week and did things like rock climbing, coasteering, archery and all that. I also did that a couple of times at primary school as well. I would say all in all that a lot of the trips you went on just depended on what you were involved with at school (extracurricular wise) and what subjects you took. For example, only GCSE Art students could go on the art trip to Paris. However, some of the trips were open to anyone like the China trip.
Alternative title: Evan feels left out for 14 minutes straight
YEAR 6 RESIDENTIAL WAS THE BEST CHANGE MY MIND
Eleanor PGL HELL YES
Eleanor yesss, I’m one of the only people I know who didn’t go to pgl :(
HEY I LOVED KINGSWOOD GLAMPING YEAR 5, TBF YEAR 6 BATH/CHEDDAR GORGE WAS AMAZINGLY FUN
I went to edinborough 😂
we went all the way to the Kingswood on the Isle of Wight for my year 6 residential. I LOVED the 3G swing so much
We had what our school called "enrichment week" which was a couple of weeks before the end of term and every single international trip in the school would be scheduled on this week. If you didn't go on any of these trips then they organised "enrichment activities" to do. So people made benches for the school and some people painted a mural on the side of the school.
Yeah same. My high school did this too.
So you either go on the trip or used as child labor
@@helloeveryone5953 pretty much 😂
Same here ^^
The best school trip I ever did was when we went to an old house and were Victorian servants for the day - I also loved Hazard Alley, which was this huge place where they taught us about safety with different simulations of hazardous situations
Heres my secondary school:
The mandatory subjct trips we have are at gcse, geography to throw oranges in the sea, and art/photography to take pics of boats.
There are optional subject trips that pop up randomly like we had the option to watch inspector calls live for English, or like when the textiles teacher wanted to take us to a fashion show
We had optional non subject ones during school time like france, god camp, retreat (its a catholic school) and then ones during the holidays like skiing in italy, or going to rome
Then in our 6th form which is attached to the secondary school there are optional subject ones like iceland for geography or 2 history students get to go to Auschwitz
And THEN, theres optional non subject 6th form trips like new York, lourdes, theres one where they to to peru or somewhere like that and help build like schools and stuff
Primary schools: most have residential trips (for a couple days), where you can do outdoor activities while also learning. Also, fun day trips like zoos and such
Secondary schools: trips mostly relate to what subjects you're taking. Most schools have a trip to France I think, but for example if you take a language you'll likely be able to visit the country at some point, or my school had a geography trip to Wales, History trip to Russia, Drama/Music trips to London to see musicals etc. There may also be day trips as well. Not being able to go on a trip is not really common and less you're a reallyyy bad student but I've never seen it. And you don't miss any school content because as Corry said, it's in the curriculum and no trips really take place in the holidays
JustBecause can’t forget the year 7-9 geography trips where you walk around fields all day doing nothing
Is my school just lame then? The only mandatory subjct trips we have are at gcse, geography to throw oranges in the sea, and art/photography to take pics of boats.

lnfc rgv your school can’t be that boring my year 4 trip was to a sports hall near my school where’s we just ran around all day whilst the year 1-3s went to Lego land
@@amyanne8330 haha I guess, typing all that out really made me see all the trips we have but theyre all for certain year groups so like, yr11s and yr7s have way less trips.
But thats secondary school, in my primary all the trips were in yr 1 like to a farm and to a forrest and our leavers trip to one of those adventure camps which in comparison to my friends going to france for leavers was pretty lame
lnfc rgv yeah we went to a pgl type place for leavers and then a few years later they were going to Disney Paris But my high school had so many trips but I only ever went to Iceland in yr 10 with geography (which I didn’t do but I signed up before we chose out options)
The weirdest school trip i have ever been on was tescos (we actually went 2 times) .We got to try foods and go in the back of the shop like in staff rooms and freezers.We also watched a man make bread. That was the weirdest trip i have ever been on.
I was sent to do two weeks work experience at Tesco while I was at school.
I did a trip to Tesco's in primary school
I did that too but it was because we had to make our food for aour year 6 leavers party. We did "jobs" at school and ended up with about £7 per group for food
I once went to Waitrose and got to help package food and it only hit us after we left we were basically doing labour for free
@@IszyBelle I thought that was a scouts thing. I did that in scouts as part of a fundraiser. Now that I think about it my cubs wasn't exactly the safest. We went around an area none of us knew and knocked on people's doors asking for donations to some donkey thing
One of my most memorable school trips (NZ) we went to my house (year 3) to study a garden because at the time we have five gardens and chickens and I very clearly remember I wasn’t allowed to go into my house to get my homework I forgot.
In my public highschool I was never really in the classes that had feildtrips, like there was one teacher in the history department that would take his kids to Italy, criminal justice students got to tour in a prison, physics could go to Six Flags, stuff like that. And yeah the senior trip is super expensive; this year's would have gone to South Africa. But the senior trip also depends on if enough kids go to gather the money, so some years could only afford to have a picnic in a nearby park.
Evans videos when he’s 65 years old: POTTY TRAINING! UK vs America!
*takes notes*
is that potty training kids or evan getting re-trained? :)
We went to Stratford upon Avon for one night and stayed in a hostel. When we got back the hostel rang the school because too many people had left bad reviews on trip advisor
ha!! I love that. I live in Stratford-upon-avon and didn't even know there WAS a hostel!! can't have been a good one!
Woah i live literally 5 minutes away from Creswell crags! Thought it was only a local school trip, one of its caves is home to the UKs oldest verified prehistoric cave art...I also walk my dog there.
When I was in primary I went to the Houses of Parliament. Didn't really know what was going on. Was just mesmorised by the really big building. Although did get to go inside the House of Lords and get close to the big golden throne used for the opening of Parliament so that was cool.
I got to do the same with my primary school cause the student council were given tickets to go. It was really cool unfortunately my camera died half way through.
"Dynamic Earth" is the place with the huge big block of ice. I remember it well.
We also went to a place called "The Risk Factory" a simulation place to learn about safety. (We had to save a granny and her cat from a fire, watch a girl fall from scaffolding, someone on a bike was run over by a bus and we were offered drugs by a guy down an alleyway) 🤣
On another trip we literally just walked around Edinburgh for the day looking at buildings and pointing out the different types of columns. (Doric, ionic and Corinthian)
The risk factory freaked me out so bad!! My group died at the fire one because we kept going back for the keys.
On topic of how old schools are - just found out my school is 1064 years old and one of the oldest in England !! Never knew since we have a modern building now
Thomas Waldron there has been a building on the site of my school since probably the Romans, and a manor hose since the normans, it has one of the only original surviving real tennis courts in Britain.
My school is from 1887 and calls itself 'relatively young'.
I love that some of our schools are older than the entirety of the USA.
Saffron Sinclair The building our school has now was built only in 2008 - but it’s the same school name, and the same place and all that
My school has a nuns graveyard ( according to head teacher the only in England but I haven’t done reasearch so I don’t know ) interesting I know
I am Czech so most of the time we go on crazy fun trips. Once in the middle of June, we took two trains, walked through the hot forest and got to cabins that were near a tiny castle. We spend a total of three of four days there, doing fun things. For the cabins, we were separated into groups of four (same gender). I luckily was with all my friends. We barely had any rules, other than wake up at 8 a.m. and go to sleep by 11 p.m. We got to go to lakes, to the town by the cabins (it had delicious ice cream), into the castle, into a watchtower and did fun challenges with our group mates. They are lots of fun and at the end of it, everybody either had a sunburn or a tan.
Edit: I live in America and boy do the trips suck here.
omg that sounds so fun the teachers always ruined our trips with ridiculous rules
I stg every child who grew up in Glasgow could walk around the Science Centre blindfolded from how many school trips we all went on to there
yesss omg so true I swear we went like twice a year
In Irish secondary schools we have a year called “Transition Year” which happens in your fourth year. It’s either obligatory or optional depending on the school. This year is far more relaxed than others and is far more focused on personal growth and development. You tend to have a lot of trips during this year. In my school for example there was an overnight hike, going ice skating, going to a gym, going to Belfast to the titanic museum, an optional trip to Manchester to watch a football match, an optional skiing trip and an optional trip to Poland to name some of the more notable ones
Hannah 1234 I’m in Ty rn I’m missing out on so much 😞😞
I wish I'd grown up in Ireland now!
that sounds so fun
Guess who's gaisce overnight got cancelled and replaced with a power point
damn we moving to Ireland boys.
Evan I missed out on a school trip as well due to homework, I was the same as you really good at the tests but always forgot the homework.
I remember the feeling of missing out so badly. However I agree that some students shouldn't go on trips but only if its behavioral issues.
I wasn't a bad kid, just learned things differently, I missed out on a lot of memories because of that.
Me too I was a good kid but forgot homework regularly. I had my only detention for forgetting my home economics work and that kept me out of the trip that year. For not writing down a recipe! (Definitely not still bitter 20 years on honest!)
Maybe it’s my foreigner perspective but I found it so deeply wrong to leave a child or teenager behind on a school trip, especially if it’s not a behaviour issue. Like I find it genuinely disgusting. I can’t believe any adult would be ok with that system, it’s just so cruel.
a yellow paper crown we don’t have that same system where I’m from in the us but I honestly can’t remember what you had to do to be pulled out of a field trip. Regardless, I think it’s wrong because making kids feel left out and on there own at that age just sounds terrible
@@fai-pe7oq Also seems wrong because leaving the kid out will likely make them more "bad" because of it. Being left alone and feeling betrayed is something that can set you off on the wrong path. One exclusion from one trip probably won't, but this hints at the whole system being wrong.
And detention just seems wrong too. I'm not from the US so I imagine it how it's in the movies lol, sitting in a room forced to be silent and do nothing. That also just isolates you from the others. Telling somebody they're a loser makes them believe that and become that. Sigh.
I missed out on a school trip once when the Icelandic ash cloud exploded and I was stuck in Ireland and I was devastated
I was in North Dakota for some of elementary school and my teacher OWNED an emu farm, so she took her class to her farm every year. Still the best public school trip I’ve ever been on.
In my primary school we went to places like the zoo, an open farm, science centres and museums and we went to a place called Castle Ward A LOT haha (I'm from northern ireland btw), which is basically a stately home that's now owned by the national trust and would have different themes and historical related events and the tour guides and people that work their would act like they were from whatever time period it was so you felt like you'd gone back in time haha. On trips like that were it was one day we usually wore our uniform but once we got to do the victorian thing were we dressed up (again going to castle ward haha)! In our final year of primary we got to go to scotland for a few days!
In high school it was usually longer trips but you still went on the occasional one day trip to museums and things. I went on a theatre trip to London and a business trip to Birmingham (cadbury and alton towers). Other people got to go on trips to Poland or Normandy and Paris and places like that, they were usually history driven trips. There was also a skiing trip every year to somewhere in europe. Other schools in my area that tended to have more wealthy families would do trips to the states or places that would be more expensive. when I left school they also did a trip to New York which I missed out on!
Best school trip I went on was to Cadbury World, we had a 30min talk about Aztecs then all the chocolate an 8 year old could want
omg and and now they have that 4d thingy. Lmao biggest attraction in Birmingham apart from bullring
@@sanjan8593 and it would like puff hot air at you??
Oh I used to love Cadbury world, I remember I had to do a dance show there and it was great
Did you go on the car ride there 😂 I remember it being yellow, and the cinema thing that squirted air at you and the seats shook 😂 n then at the end you got a pot of like melted chocolate. Went went in year 4, banging trip
we went there all the time, it was only a few stops on the train for us and everyone loved it lmao
We had a school trip to France when I was 12 and my friends and I got chased by armed policemen. It was scary because we didn't know what they were saying 😂
COME HERE CROISSANT
😂 I’m twelve and I was supposed to have a trip to france this year but it got cancelled because of the corona virus
@@tiny_boi2261 Same
@@tiny_boi2261 You sure you wanna say that here? CZcams Terms of Service says you have to be 13 to be here after all.
CrimsonKage well I didn’t say it was my account
I remember that big block of ice! There was also a room that would shake as though there was an earthquake happening. I don't know what they were trying to teach us as children in Edinburgh.
When she said Derbyshire my heart skipped a beat, my part of England is barely ever mentioned anywhere 😂😂 the only time it made news was because a dam in my town was gonna break 😔
PGL, France and The Cotswolds were probably the best trips
PGL! I forgot about that 😂. It was the one fun thing about primary school
PGL! They got people with the same first name mixed up in my year so instead of my friends I ended up in a room full of people who were horrible to me (they also refused to change it, they surely knew who was friends with who, yes I am still salty 😂), but the activities were great. Someone got sent home in my year, first time ever at my school, the headteacher had to drive to pick him up 😂👍🏻
Nah, Poland and Germany are way better than France. No I'm not a rich twat, its just what my school did.
PARENTS GET LOST, aah man memories
Omg I remember PGL, I remember going in year 6 and getting addicted to the orange juice that was in that juice dispenser. Even filled s bottle and brought it home lmao
In primary school I went on the most exciting school trip.
The local Tesco. woow. but in my upper school we could go on a Chinese exchange program
That seems really cool
Lily Haselwood we also went to Tesco on a school trip! I thought it was just me, wow other schools phoning it out like mine.
Same we got to make bread and I made mine in the shape of a dragon.
I did this and they passed a fish around at one point. I dropped the fish on the floor lol
I remember having the option of going to the Pantomime each year in Primary School, that was always a fun time.
I’m 14 and English and live in the south of England ... my school does great trips For
example this year (before coronavirus) I went to nasa in Texas for a week and Belgium and France :)
I had a school trip to Dynamic Earth (the place with iceberg) It was cool because there were certain rooms for different natural disasters
Same
Yeah, that was fun. I think I went in S2.
any irish person remembers the best school trip ever: bog jumping
The bogs in Causey Farm were the highlight
catokella YUP
You guys going bog for fun? That’s just weekend work in my family 😂😩😂
It sounds like you guys would get a kick out of mud bogging!
Yesss. And bog tug-of-war, bog swimming and bog falling 😂
I'm from Germany. I got to go to Italy (Rome), London for one day and after that we traveled through England for a few days. It was really cool. We could choose, though. We also went on a skiing trip to Austria and others went to Paris instead of England. It was all during school time, not during the breaks. It's so interesting to see, how those kind of things differ between countries. I love your videos, btw. Okay, bye. Have a nice day and stay safe! 😊
I went on 3 trips the whole time I was in secondary school and all were before year 9, we kept getting told after that, oh you'll go on trips alot in year 10 and 11, then when we reached that age "you'll go on alot of trips after GCSEs" still never happened. We also got promised a lot of reward trips for the good kids that never happened
in england, school trips are literally used to back up the learning, especially in primary school. example: titanic museum (titanic), butser ancient farm (romans), belgium battlefields (ww1/ww2), intec science museum (anything sciencey), stonehenge (romans) . if you were lucky and your behaviour was acceptable, you got the chance at the end of each year to do 3 trips in a week to fun places. example: i went to longleat zoo, butser hill and chessington world of adventures. others went places like new forest wet and wild, thorpe park and ice skating. but mostly trips are used for educational purposes.
gracemouatxsix Stonehenge has nothing to do with the romans at all 😂
@@lucy-rd7re good point lmao!! meant to say bronze age haha
Out of your list I went to Intec Science Museum, longest Thorpe Park and others
I'm from the Isle of Wight
My school doesn’t do trips cuz they’re “too expensive” even tho the school has plenty of money and we all know it
The big ice block is at dynamic eart which takes you through an interactive experience of the development of all life in earth and is awesome
The ice block was at Dynamic Earth! I feel like every primary school in Scotland went there 😂
I remember going to dynamic earth in Edinburgh where they had they ice berg it was with the geography department when I was S2. I was also was meant to go to Iceland with my school but they had to postpone it due to quarantine.
Chloe Curls I loved dynamic earth but I went in primary school, I was wondering if you went to the risk factory because that’s the only field trip I can remember.
Minta 123 No all my primary school trips were in my city/town until I went to secondary school where I have had 2 trips to Edinburgh and 1 to Dundee
I remember all the P7s at my school being so secretive of the risk factory hahah
Anna Zainab same
Minta 123 it was so weird hahah
Im english, a few years ago when I was in college we took a school trip to geneva for a few day. Wonderful time
we went to paris!!!
Nice, 1st year we went to Munich area and the 2nd which was a bit meh was Berlin & Krakow.
Why_are_there _no_names I’m SUPPOSED to be going to Geneva with college in July. I just hope our trip can happen as it looks amazing
@@ajrcherrington I'm supposed to go on a school trip to Geneva in July too, but it's not looking good :(
I'm from Sheffield too and this was A BLAST FROM THE PAST! I think we went to Castleton on at least 4 separate trips. Also. THE BELGIUM TRIP that was exactly the same wherever you lived in England. Each school would do the same one.
Hey Evan, fellow South Jersey dweller here. I love hearing you talk about all the things and places from my home. Its always fun to hear you mention Wawa hoagies, Wheaton village and places I’m familiar with because it makes me feel like I’m connected to the conversation. Love your videos and can’t wait for more :)
Omg I've been to Magna! I still remember there was a button on some kind of sound effects board that played an out of tune, creepy version of "Happy Birthday to you..." and it echoed around the room because all of the surfaces were flat and metal.
The coolest school trip I went on when I was in primary school was when I was in year 1 I went to digger world which is basically theme park but with diggers and you can drive them and stuff.
Dat_thicc_boi my brother did that too and i remember i was really jealous at the time
Dudeeee I used to go there all the time when I was younger
When they spoke about "Victorian School Day" it reminded me of a very Midwest US field trip day in Nebraska we call "Heritage Day" where you dress as a pioneer child and go to a one room school house for a day and pretend to be a pioneer. They typically use a real historic one room school house that has been moved to a new location.
I went to the Harry Potter studios with my school in year 7 🤷♀️ and then London to see two west end shows three times. As well as a load of other fun trips that seemed to have nothing to do with school 🤣
when i was in year 5 our class got to go and explore the river thames at low tide we got to look for old pottery and old animal remains
Sounds like some archaeologists bribed your school
Oh god no. The river Thames is literally a sewer 😂 you couldn't pay me to go that close too that cess pit.
@@hanzib31 better than the Irwell
Creswell crags is legendary, glad to get some recognition for Derbyshire
My son was meant to go here at the end of march with school, obv didnt go because schools were shut down. Hes still gutted 😔
Yes!
Creswell Crags is cool, the caves, the shows they put on and beautiful scenery (Plus, what kid doesn't like Prehistoric man, Mammoths, Sabretooth tigers ect). A few of other common ones for school day trips for schools in Derbyshire, is Crich Tramway Village, Matlock, Buxton and Chatsworth House.
Creswell Crags Museum is in Derbyshire, the Crags themselves are in Nottinghamshire
I know exactly how you feel with the homework. I was top of the second group for maths and there were tests that happened regularly to move people up and down between groups. They moved the second person in my group up to the top, but didn’t move me because I did no maths homework whatsoever. Luckily when the maths department got a new head, I moved up to the top group and then the top half of the top group whilst still doing absolutely no maths homework!
In primary we had a week long trip to the Isle of Wight. It was so fun and we had so many activities. In secondary we had end of year trips which sometimes had a religious element (I went to a catholic school) and in addition to that there were trips during the year relating to your subject. Trips became more focused in GCSE years like a coastal trip for geography students to identify and document various coastal features. We were let loose in small groups and had to meet back at the coach by a certain time
I was meant to have my DofE Silver expedition over easter and a school trip to spain but they both got canceled as well as my GCSE geography case study trip to wales. :(
Shrey Gara sameeeewe I was meant to stay in 4 star hotel and Learn cooking skills, go paint balling or Thorpe park(what every one I was gonna choose) DofE silver to the Cotswold and the chilterns and my geography case study
trip to measure a river
I was meant to do my DofE Gold and my geography A-Level research trip to Greenland got cancelled too
Same but the expedition leader quit his job as well so I have no idea what's gonna happen
suddenly very jealous at ur geography fieldtrps, we went to the local retail park
@@beatricegoodchild6232 was gonna say the same thing we walked into town and counted some cars, I was part of SEN so we got to sit in McDonalds and count them, everyone else was stationed somewhere along the road
PGL was the vip of school trips!
what now
Omgggggg AHAHAHAHAHA that was a vibeeee
OMG I LOVE PGL
In Year 6, my son went to PGL.
I think the funnest PGL trip I went to was in south of France in year 10 where we did so many fun activities like canoeing down the Ardeche river, banana boating, sailing, cliff jumping, etc and it was the best.
I remember my year 10 GCSE art trip to Kew Gardens for my natural forms unit. I had to wear my school uniform and we absolutely melted in the greenhouses as it wasn’t designed for warm weather at all.
When I was in element school we had the yearly trip to the San Francisco Symphony, along with various museums in the Bay Area. Also one year there was a class trip to check out the sequoia trees, so that was cool.
one of the best educational school trips was when my Biochemistry class went to BAYER in Leverkusen and we made a magnetic fluid which is used to shrink brain tumors
Our field trips/“holidays” were very nature based in my school (I went to a Waldorf school in Seattle, which is relevant if you know what that is) and they were very mich part of the curriculum, every class went to the same place in the same year. I don’t remember a ton of my elementary school field trips, I think we went to museums, and I remember going to a big forest park and learning about the flora and looking at tree rings and stuff and we’d go to a farm often. In eighth grade we had a trip at the end of the year that was recreational, we went to Vancouver, BC and stayed in a dorm the university wasn’t using. I know some Waldorf schools that have more money do trips to Europe and stuff but ours had a mileage limit that didn’t go that far. In high school we did a week long camping service trip every year. Freshman year we went to a biodynamic farm, a week in September and a week in the spring. Sophomore year we went to the woods and helped with tree conservation. Junior year I studied in Switzerland for a couple months and missed the trip, and senior year we did a zoology trip to the ocean and dissected cuttlefish and looked at stuff through microscope and learned about seaweed and stuff, and then we had our service trip at the end of the year where we helped build houses in eastern Washington and then had like three days at the end that were more recreation (we went to Leavenworth) to celebrate graduating.
Oh and we also did a fair amount of backpacking trips. We did a three day one in the Goat Rocks in eighth grade and I think that’s what they did junior year. We also did a trip before freshman year that was meant to introduce the class to eachother and was fun but also somewhat traumatizing because it RAINED in the dark while we set up camp and we were fully in the wilderness.
In Australia we went on a school camp almost every year. everyone came and we spent 3-5 days just hanging out eating terrible food, staying up too late with your cabin mates and doing fun activities like archery, surfing, skiing, abseiling, rockclimbing, kayaking and making fires.
In elementary, I went on field trips to the art museum in my town, the zoo, old fashioned town to learn about the older way of life in the US, and parks. In junior high, I went on field trips to the high school, the university in my city, cedar point(amusement park), and the old fashioned town to learn about locked. In high school, I went to various other schools on trips for choir, contests and the like, Cedar Point, University, Wildwood(Nature preserve), NewYork (choir), and some more I can't remember. Most of the trips I went on were because I was an honors student, good at math, and involved in groups at the school most students around me didn't go nearly as many trips as I did. We let anyone who paid for the trip go unless they got expelled. My school didn't require uniforms although sparkling boots were too distracting and so was colored hair.
I miss school trips! As a geologist though I'm definitely missing 'the field' more... I was meant to go on a few geological field trips until they all got canceled because of COVID :/
3:35 Dynamic Earth? Pretty sure that’s what ur on about
This made me think back to high school and remember that my school never took us on trips in all 4 yrs. the only trips I went on were performances for Choir were we got to stop at the mall on the way back to get something to eat before heading back. Also Seniors at the end of the year (for $100) got to go to Grad Bash at Universal Studios/ Islands of Adventure which was a huge thing they did for a bunch of schools around the state for us to have the park exclusively to ourselves for the night and we got coach buses instead of school buses.
The best school trips I’ve been on are the west end theatre/ musical trips with the drama department every year and the french trip in year 7. We also went to the Harry Potter studio tours which was great.There was an Alton towers trip and a Thorpe park fright night trip for people who were good students.
I live close to nyc so we always went on field trips. We went to see broadway shows, we went to china town, the museum of natural history, cnn headquarters, and Columbia university
School trips my schools offered in the last four years: Ecuador and Galapagos, China, Cambodia, Tanzania, New York, Barcelona, Belgium, Battlefields, Disneyland/Paris, Germany, Iceland and the German Exchange. As well as internal ones like London, Many musicals, Pretty much every theme park in England, DofE, Leicester, York etc...
Wtf 😱 Mine was France France or france
Field Trips in Europe are crazy if they are like here in Portugal.
In middle school I went on a field trip to the UK and France, over a week and a half, visiting London and Paris... By bus.
In Secondary school, I went to Spain by bus and the Azores islands by plane.
Magna was awesome, as were Eureka and Elsecar. Bringing back my childhood there!
I swear in Birmingham you have like trips to Wales all the time. Especially throughout Primary, like every year there was an opportunity but my parents didn't trust me enough back then so Ive never been to Wales.
But in Secondary, I actually got to go on a free History trip to Belgium to learn about WW1 and WW2 (my essay was Really good).
Secondary, it's mostly mandatory GCSE subject trips like Geography fieldwork. But also other trips from like English and Drama where you went to the theatre and watched plays.
My school was really lucky cause we had Activities Week. Basically the last week of school we got to pick activities to do for each day (except the Friday) and we would be in non uniform going to places like Bullring for shopping trips or Lazer-tag or go to Star City. There were also 'in-house' activities which were free like nail art or Minecraft. Or you could spend the whole week, including the weekend on a trip abroad to Amsterdam or Spain and stuff.
Unfortunatly, the school decided to change that for Year 11 so they had Prom instead (which no one wanted) so it was pretty common to see Year 10s plan trips for their last Activities Week with friends. Fortunately, I had my last Activities Week last year so I didn't really miss out. I'm kinda sad for the current Year 10s though.
When I was in year 7 one of the first history classes we ever had talked about the history of the school and it was so cool. I forgot a few details but this is what I remember: before the school was built there was a little cottage belonging to a married couple, but the husband either died or cheated on his wife (I can't remember), and then the wife hung herself from a tree. When the school was built it was originally an all-boys school which was haunted by the wife, but it soon turned into an all-girls school. When world war one/world war two happened it got converted from school to a hospital and there are loads of pictures of soldiers lying in beds in the great hall around the school. After the war, the hospital got converted back into an all-girls school were it was haunted by the wife and some soldiers who died there. In 1970 or something the school got changed into a mixed school for boys and girls, and to this day it is apparently still haunted, as some teachers who mark the books on-site during winter (it gets dark rlly early in winter) think they see the ghost of the wife and soldiers. I know the ghost part is probably fake but I still love my school's history and how we get taught about the ghosts in class. Also, my English teacher hates teaching in the main (and oldest) building because she apparently saw a ghost there.
I had a trip to Germany with History in Year 10 and it was such a good trip! We were studying Life in Germany at the time so went to the historical sites but the teachers were really good as they new it was obviously quite sad and heavy so they scheduled more fun activities such as doing a tour of the Munich Olympic park and an Indoor Water Park 👏👏
My schools had various trips, we did things like class ski trips, Shakespeare festivals in other states, aquatics camps, adventure/nature camps, water park trips, theme parks, plays, etc.
The creamy acres trips were my absolute favorite!! I think we went up to 4th grade, and I still remember the corn maze and getting apple cider doughnuts!!
I miss apple cider doughnuts so much
I've never heard anyone outside of my primary school talk about Magna! The fire section had a fire tornado, and my 11 year old mind was blown.
primary school: loads of pantomimes, places of worship, adventure island, and fair play house, and picnics in parks.
secondary school: museums, france, theatres, chessington, outward bounds (my fave), and watched divers in the olympic park.
On one school trip we literally just went to Tesco which was like a couple of streets away
In secondary I got to go to Spain and Berlin that were week long trips, then also the iso of white in yr6
with my school i’ve been to france, spain, austria and italy! also both of my schools were over 200 years old!
I was raised in a really small town. We walked to the water department. That was about it.
Corey the big block of ice is dynamic earth 😂 and I went there and the bus broke down and I was stuck there until 7 pm
In first grade I went on a field trip to a grocery store. Also in first grade I went on a field trip to a fast food restaurant.
We had quite a few residentials in primary school, starting just to a nearby town, then to a camping place and then to France, but then in secondary school it was either ski trips, exchanges or music tours. I only went on the latter two, but tours would usually be between 5-7 days, staying in a hotel and buying your own lunches and with trips to chocolate factories and theme parks and a few gigs mixed in! We went to Belgium, the Tri-Boarder, Holland, Italy, Czech Republic, all sorts
i’n from the uk and i remember a couple of types of trips. during primary school, we went on a trip every year to castles, battlefields, museums etc. every year we would also have a trip to a religious place of worship for each of the main religion (chruch, mosque, gurudwara etc.). in year 2 and year 6, we had residential trips where we went away to a activity park for a week. in secondary school, we went on trips every year to a theme park (drayton manor and alton towers). in year 8, we went on a trip to france or germany, depending on which language u studied, for a week. then there were also trips to colleges and universities which were to discuss higher education options. i was also in drama club, so we went to our local theatre a lot to perform.
i once went on a trip to a poo and plumbing place in year 4 and we had to make fake poo, i remember being sooo confused!
Omg yeah! My primary school had links with Wessex Water so went around one of their sites... definitely a weird one 😂
anyone else call it “Activities Week” in Scotland?
Becca Reid we had Activities Week in Wales too :)
We had community week lol
We say that in England too
Yup, it’s still activities week. We get to go go carting with teachers or play laser tag with them, stuff like that
Yeah! We got activities week at the end of the school year
Grew up in Glasgow. Annual summer trips throughout primary school to farms, zoo, coast, historic towns. Winter trips to pantomimes. There was a primary school leavers trip to Belgium for 10 days. In secondary there were exchange visits to France, Italy, Spain and USSR. We also had geography and biology subject related field trips.
My school went to the church down the street from my house that was an Underground Railroad safe spot
Does anybody else remember singing on the coach and the teachers would always tell everybody to quite down.
We sang on the bus on the way to sporting events nobody stopped us.
@@Catlily5 Lucky we would just sing louder and annoy the teachers more 😂
someone on my bus had a bluetooth speaker. it was chaos
