What a start to our year 5 PE lessons! We loved our introduction to orienteering today. We discussed what orienteering is and how to be successful at it. We watched videos showing us people who are involved in orienteering competitions.
We discussed what a check point was and how we could identify these in our playing area. We discussed that working as a team and using our problem solving skills would support us in completing the orienteering challenge today.
We were given a set of cryptic clues to follow to find our check points. At the check points, there were different letters. Once we had found them all, we had to unscramble to letters to make a secret word to crack the code. It was great fun and we covered a lot of space as the check points were scattered around our whole school grounds. We are looking forward to building our orienteering skills and applying this to maps over this half term.
