Outdoor Adventurous Activities is a unit of study that is part of our PE curriculum. In this unit, children take part in simple orientation activities using maps and diagrams. They are set physical challenges and problems to solve, and work on their own and in small groups. An important part of the learning is to observe what they and others have done and use their observations to improve their performance.
At the end the unit, Year 2 children invited their mums and dads to come and find some treasure! The children worked on developing their instruction, thinking and movement skills while they created their own trails and maps for their parents to follow. The children watched carefully to see if the parents worked collaboratively, listening and helping each other in their groups, just as they had needed to do when they created the Treasure Trails.
Super work was achieved and it was lots of fun had too. Oh, and parents… the children said you worked successfully together, using great collaborative skills. Well done, we hope you enjoyed the treasure you all found, too.
