On the 25th September 2024, as part of the OH-COP week, Tong primary school were visited by Fraser. He organised a introduction session to orienteering, map reading and supported the young people to create maps of their local environment.<\/p>\n

“We’re standing here, in the playground”, “That’s the playpark over there”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The young people were each given a map, shown how to use the local landmarks and map key to locate their position on the map. They were divided into groups, taking turns hiding items in the school grounds and plotting the location on their maps, and locating the items hidden by other groups. The young people engaged fully with the task, worked well as a team and enjoyed finding increasingly difficult hiding places to increase the competition.<\/p>\n

“Let’s go, I know where to hide the bag!”, “Mark it on the map”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

“We’ve got one more bag to get”, “The boys hid it there”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The young people were then asked to use natural resources to create a map of their local environment. Some created detailed pictures of their street, displaying their houses and the neighbouring homes, including distinguishing local landmarks.<\/p>\n

“That’s my house, and there’s the road”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

“I used the leaves for the trees, and the pine cones are cars”<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
With support, the children added a map key to their picture. They creatively used the resources to depict their local environment.<\/div>\n

Once the activity was finished, some children enjoyed creating other pieces of transient art using the natural resources.<\/div>\n
