Common misconception
Pupils are still developing understanding of the concept of quantifying time and as such they can significantly overestimate how much they can do and see in just one day.
Remind pupils to think about all the things that we have to do around visiting attractions, how long will it take to get to an attraction, what type of transport is best to take, what about time for meal breaks.
