On Friday, Year 5 and Year 6 participated in an exciting orienteering event. The course featured 12 stations scattered across the school grounds. Each pair of pupils was given an ‘electronic dibber’ to track their times as they navigated between stations. Before tackling the main course, students warmed up with a practice run to get familiar with the process. The main course took around five minutes to complete—though a bit longer if you chose to walk! At the end of the session, each pair received a readout of their times.
A big thank you to Northern Navigators for organising and running the event—we had a fantastic time learning and enjoying the art of orienteering!
