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.
