A inquiry project where students study the Five Wonders Theme Park stimulus poster while inquiring about an international city.

Welcome to Five Wonders Theme Park, the worlds most popular theme park in the world.

This teaching resource is an inquiry project that uses the idea of Five Wonders Theme Park and allows students to inquire a city of choice. Within the stimulus posters there is a train map and service timetable. Students will need to use their research and visualising skills to link the train service from Five Wonders to a real life train line in a city of choice. Following the instructions, students will research the city and plan a linked holiday that involves both exploring the city and visiting Five Wonders Theme Park.

Students will need to:

link both worlds together
create a timetable
form a budget
research the city including tourist attractions
write diary entries detailing how the day went
research and include accommodation, food, flights

Recommended to be done after students are familiarised with the stimulus poster. Check out our other Five Wonders Theme Park related projects, task cards and activities by visiting our Five Wonders Theme Park Resource Collection.
