Description

This unit explores pupils' ability to respond effectively to problems and physical challenges, both individually and in cooperation with others. Developing awareness of others and ability to work in teams is essential to success in life and in this unit.

Pupils will already have developed basic skills to operate as a team but this unit challenges pupils to apply them in unique scenarios that require problem solving and creative thinking. Later in outdoor adventurous activities pupils will get the opportunity to engage in activities beyond the school walls, which will further develop their teamwork and leadership skills.
