Description

This unit will develop pupils’ ability to orientate a map to locate points. Pupils will follow a set route and think strategically in order to reach as many points as possible in a set time. Pupils will develop their ability to collaborate with others and work as a team to complete the challenges.

Pupils already have a strong understanding of how we can work effectively as a team and why this is important. So far, pupils have focused on solving problems in teams, so this unit challenges pupils to apply this understanding through the uniquely different lens of orienteering. The unit develops pupils’ map reading skills alongside the development of communication and cooperation. Later, pupils have to apply their knowledge of orienteering and team work in competitive activities, where they will be challenged to think strategically, in order to be successful.
