Common misconception
Young children 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 travel time between points of interest when they are planning their route, as well as how long they will spend in each place. Use the length of a school day and how it is punctuated with lessons and breaks for comparison.
