OAA

Year 5 took part in orienteering yesterday in PE. The children recapped how to set/orientate the map whilst navigating a course, as well as using the thumbing technique so that they could track where they were on the map. The children learnt the skill of map memory, which is the ability to look at a map and commit the relevant portion of the map to memory.

This is useful for finding the next control without having to continually refer to the physical map. This is important because it is often hard to look at a map when going through difficult terrain without stopping, and every time you stop you lose points. Well done Year 5 with you brilliant navigating!

Achievements from Home

Well done to all of the children from KS1 for their fabulous achievements from home. It was a great to see a wide range of sporting achievements from swimming to football, which shows their dedication and commitment to their sports. Keep up with the hard work.
