Orienteering Superstars

This term Room Five's Physical Education focus is Orienteering. It will also be our Maths Topic focus too as we are looking at position and orientation. We started today and boy was it fun. Irene and Leon came in and showed us lots of different symbols that are found on orienteering maps. Each symbol means something, a blue X means that is where we can find a water fountain and white space means it is an easy area to run through. They tested us and we were really fast at getting the right symbols. We then got to go outside where Irene and Leon had set up two huge circles out of pegs. Each peg was a station and had a clipper that was unique to that station. We got a piece of paper that told us what station we had to find next then had to clip our paper to prove that we had been there. We had so much fun. Thanks Irene and Leon, we can not wait for next week.
