Barge Trips: From the air near Schiphol years ago I saw such a barge trips clearly lettered FLORA, a solid mass of violet and yellow flowers. A few hours later I happened upon the same barge trips in Amsterdam, its floral cargo in process of being unloaded on a quay. I've never forgotten it, nor will you forget the similar sights you will see.The Netherlands uses its many canals and rivers for transport to a higher degree than nearly any other country and certainly more than any country of comparable size. The Netherlands is located entirely upon the north European plain and much of the land has been reclaimed from the sea by means of dikes and canals. Every city of any consequence within the country has water transport. barge tripss with sails first traversed these waters and though the sail barge trips is still used to a degree, the self-propelled barge trips dominates the waterways today.
Field trips have many learning values. Usually it is best to have one or two definite purposes in making each trip. One fifth grade took a trip to the old Van Cortlandt Mansion to study colonial life and industries. They went to a bakery, to neighboring stores, and to a food exhibition to supplement their practical work in home economics. In order to derive the most benefit from field trips, the class should discuss beforehand what to look for and should summarize their findings after the trip. |
