Today we enjoyed taking part in five different activities introducing us to orienteering. We learned how important it is to identify where North is on a map and how helpful it is to hold a map the correct way round. We used our skills to locate numbers and words and to record them and we also enjoyed following route directions and making up our own routes.

We faced drizzly rain all morning, but that didn’t stop our enthusiasm and enjoyment learning outside. 😊 🌧

We had a great morning learning about birds eye views and then creating our own maps.

In our groups we decided on natural materials to use to create our very own maps of the school grounds. We then collected materials and created these brilliant maps.

Once we had finished we returned all the materials to where we found them, we are trying hard to  remember that all we take back inside from being outdoors are our memories. 😊
