Big Adventures, Beautiful Books, Broader Vocabulary.
BEN’s Horizons Programme invites students on a rich Vocabulary Voyage; an experiential learning journey that brings curriculum to life through hands-on expeditions and powerful storytelling.
Horizons supports the public primary school curriculum through carefully designed thematic units that integrate Social Studies, Bermuda history, ecosystems, agriculture and literacy. Each expedition is intentionally linked to a mentor text, using stories as a springboard for inquiry, discussion and deeper understanding.
The journey begins by selecting a thematic unit aligned with your year group. Within each unit you will find:
An expedition or outdoor experience at your school
Mini vocabulary and writing activities
A mentor text
These experiences connect real-world exploration with vocabulary development, oral language and curriculum learning.
All invitations to sign up for expeditions are sent via email through SignUpGenius, typically two weeks before the expedition takes place. Once sign-ups are filled, a bus timetable will be shared with participating schools.
At BEN, our mission is to bridge experiential learning and literacy, ensuring that students not only explore and discover, but also talk, think and use language to make meaning of their experiences.
