This week we have been learning about position. We have been practising our compass points, scale and measuring distances to the nearest metre using trundle wheels. What an exciting opportunity to take the learning outside the classroom (and play an evil trick on the class).
Groups were in charge of organising a course around the school grounds using 6 steps. First, they had to draw on a map, then they had to go outside and work out which direction and how many metres, each step involved.
Next, Miss Tamsett and I took a group each to follow the directions of 2 different groups. Little did the students know - I had hidden 2 treasures at the end of the course - 1 nice and 1 not so nice. The look on the kids face was priceless. Have a look at the photos below.

In the middle of our scavenger hunt, Mr Cameron challenged us to a Tug-of-war with 2T. Unfortunately, Year 5/6 were beaten by some very competitive Year 2 students. Well done 2T you champions!
