🗓️ Dream Weekend — three plans from Grade 7
The rules: two days, four people, £300 in total. You must say how you will travel, where you will stay, what you will do and how much it costs.
🏝️ TEAM 1 (Rosa, Mia, Lily, Zoe) — THE ISLAND: We’re going to take the ferry to the Isle of Wight (£80 return for four). On Saturday we’re going to hire bikes (£60) and ride to the Needles, three white rocks in the sea. We’re staying in a youth hostel (£100). On Sunday we’re going to look for dinosaur footprints on the beach. Total: £240. “We can spend the rest on ice cream,” says Mia.
🦇 TEAM 2 (Ben, Rory, Tom, Amy) — UNDERGROUND: We’re going to take the train to the Peak District (£120 return). On Saturday we’re going to explore two huge caves with a guide (£64). We’re camping (£30), so we need to bring our tents. On Sunday we’re climbing a hill called Mam Tor. Total: £214.
🏙️ TEAM 3 (Leo, Max + two cousins) — THE BIG CITY: We’re going to London by coach (£60). We’re going to the Natural History Museum (free), a West End musical (£200) and a big pizza restaurant (£50). We’re sleeping at Max’s aunt’s flat. Total: £310. Max says, “Maybe the judges won’t check the maths.”
