SAQ: Speed, Agility and Quickness

During this block of work children will develop their abilities, skills, knowledge and confidence supporting their fundamental movement skills in a variety of increasingly challenging situations. This is done by working  on changing speed when moving, zoning in on balance and coordination that is appropriate to that given moment and tasks at hand. Children will develop their agility skills when changing directions while meeting different obstacles along the way. Finally children will improve on becoming increasingly confident with their focus and resilience when needing to act quickly within different scenarios such as jumping over hurdles and fast feet through ladders.

                            OAA: Orienteering 

Orienteering is an exciting outdoor adventure sport suitable for all ages and fitness levels. that exercises mind and body.

The aim is to navigate between checkpoints or controls marked on a special orienteering map. There is no set route so the skill and fun come from trying to find the best way to go.

In competitive orienteering, the challenge is to complete the course in the quickest time. At these checkpoints/controls, children will come across different challenges linked to learning in the classrooms such as: math's equations, words/spellings, clues on the great fire of London (history) and/or clues belonging to the artist Laurence Lowry (Art) etc.
