Teachers at my daughter's school are now using the word "incursion" for events held within a school, as opposed to "excursions" where children leave the school to enjoy entertainment/a field trip to learn something etc. An example of their use of the word "incursion": a poet coming to speak to the children in the school. I just can't find anywhere how the use of this word started in the education field, its logic (or lack of it). To me an incursion is an act of aggression or a hostile attack. I have found one definition that has some semblance of relationship: "the act of entering - or running into" as in an incursion of flood water - again there is a negative connotation. Does this relate to the common use of "incursion" used frequently by teachers?? I don't know.... but its use still grates on me.
