Children:

  • Ask the children to draw a graph to show the number of times Barnaby used different types of transport in a given time and find out which type of transport he used most.
  • Ask the children to think about how long the journeys took him.
  • develop a sense of distance associated with travel
  • know about different ways of travelling to places
  • know that different types of transport will give different travel times
