safety, orienteering and problem solving in the snow

Despite the cold, wet weather we ventured out and took a stroll through the wood making sure we focused on safety the whole way. We warned everyone about risks as we came across them (fallen trees, jaggy holly, puddles, roots etc)

After that we worked in teams to practise some orienteering skills finding numbered cones around the snowy grass. Teamwork was really important and we had to stick together to work with each other and make sure we found the cones in the correct order.

It then got a bit wet so we decided to head back indoors. On the way back inside inside there was a special request to make snowmen….it was a little wet for that so we had a competition to see which team could make the biggest snowball instead!

After lunch we ventured out again and worked on a logic problem using the snowballs to help us picture the problem. Again the weather stopped us from staying out the whole time so we finished off sharing our strategies to solve the problem back inside.
