Orienteering

Orienteering

Welcome back to another blog post, so today me and my class went out to the field. To have ORIENTEERING!!!!!!. What we did was that, we had to go into 2 groups. Because Irene and Leon have set up 2 separate big circles. We had to have little strips, that had separate letters which were mixed up. It was really fun because we had to run around and around the circles, because there was a clipper that came with the alphabet flag pole. So we had to clip the paper strips on the alphabet flag pole. It had to be clipped with the same exact letter that was on the post. So it was really long long time because we had to run and run which was pretty tiring a little bit. So it was really enjoyable because Irene & Leon told us about and taught us about Orienteering. In the end they told us to stand in the middle if we finished Irene had to check our one because she was in our group. After that they told us about the direction of north because we had to know our directions. They eventually gave us a map of the school and an arrow that had pointed north. We had to point the map to north all the time, so we could know the way north is. There was a fun part where there was certain symbol that was a colour and some colours were pretty difficult to understand, because instead of the field being green, the map shows its yellow and orange. They told us where that symbol was and we had to go find it which was really challenging, because Irene would give us a point. I sadly didn't get a point because it was to hard to find. They also told us, if a picture on the map is black, it is man made. Which is basically the buildings and classrooms. Then after that I had a really fun first block, because we had to come back to class afterwards.
