What you’ll learn
I can work in a team to complete a sprint orienteering course.
Key learning points
- Move: keeping our shoulders relaxed and our posture upright will conserve energy when running over longer sections.
- Move: driving the knees high whilst staying tall and pumping the arms will increase speed.
- Think: planning who will run where and in what order will help gain an advantage.
- Feel: clear roles and responsibilities will enable everyone to feel a sense of belonging.
- Connect: being aware of others and keeping volume low around the school site demonstrates respect and responsibility.
Words to know
- emotional intelligence
- the ability to understand and manage your own and others’ emotions
- strategy

It is too tiring to sprint the whole course.

For parents, carers and teachers
- Teacher to form the groups throughout the lesson to ensure the various strengths across the group are balanced.
