they can apply the skills they
have learned. The students
were allowed to choose
which businesses they
wanted to visit, and were
divided into groups of two,
three or four.
Some children chose to go
to the various banks in
Exeter, while others toured
such places as grocery
stores, restaurants, and
building supply stores. Some
pupils even went to the
animal clinic.
Mrs. Ottewell says that
there are sevreal reasons
why this year’s geography
class decided to visit the
town’s businessmen.
Because it is the “Year of the
Child”, she thought this was
a good way to bring children
and adults together.
Arrangements were easy to
make because it is a small
class, and Mrs. Ottewell says
this class is very nice. She
could trust their manners
while they were visiting, she
says. She told the pupils that
courtesy is very important,
because they “represent not
just the school, but all
youth.”
Mrs. Ottewell says that
the townspeople have been
very good about giving the
students a tour of their
shops, and explaining what
goes on. The students have to
give an oral and written
report when they get back to
class.
