Picnic in the Park is an IDL project .  We took part in an orienteering event in Drumpellier Park. This is what we did in the three subjects involved in the project.

Home Economics

In Home Economics, we made leak and potato soup, filled rolls and healthy flap jacks. It was fun making the food and we liked working together to make our first meal in S1. The food gave us energy to keep us going throughout the course. The food was easy to make and was nice to eat. Our teachers thought we did well working together to make the meal and they thought we worked more efficiently together.

Geography

In Social Subjects about three weeks before we went to Picnic in the Park, we learned how to read a map and what some of the useful symbols meant so that  if we got lost it helped us to find our way back. The teachers who were teaching us thought it really helped us and we improved our map reading skills throughout the weeks we were learning Geography.  As we were using the map to get to each stamp, we had to know how to read it.  We also had to work as part of a team and had to work on our communication skills.

P.E

The P.E department organised the whole fun and enjoyable event that all S1 pupils participate in. The P.E department as a whole thought we did extremely well and are very proud of us. In the weeks leading up to the event we did loads of running, orienteering and a bleep test . We thought that practising around the school doing orienteering really helped us for this event. We thought this event was great fun and enjoyable. It improved our fitness.
