The south coast of England, in particular Portsmouth, Chichester and the Isle of Wight, provides a wealth of natural beauty and geographical case studies both on and off-shore. Taking a sailing trip from Portsmouth Harbour will enable your group to find out more about the effects of the weather from a different perspective and the opportunities to learn more about geography through first-hand experiences are endless.
Subject Focus:
• KS 3-5: Long shore drifts, sand and shingle spits
• KS 3-5: Tides, waves and sea defences
• KS 3-5: Salt marshes and sand dunes
• KS 3-5: Birds, plants and natural habitat
• KS 3-5: Management of coastal areas including conservation and energy efficiency techniques
Student Outcomes:
• See why energy efficient technology is vital for the future of the British Isles.

It makes a huge difference as a busy teacher to have people on the other end of the phone who always seem to be so helpful with solving the inevitable problems that arise in the organisation of such trips.
