O R I E N T E E R I N G

by Lauren S and Sofia W R, 6ème

During this exam week, the 6e had different activities like orienteering, recycling competition, frisbee tournament

The orienteering was fun and interesting At the end of the event we got prizes like candy and chocolate It was very enjoyable and we got to go to Golders Hill park in North London The main activity we did was finding places on a map. It was organised by Danny, parents and teachers who volunteered. We got there by Tube which was already pre-paid for the whole grade. The groups that we were put in were unaccompanied so we could run around and find the clues on our own At the end of the event, all the 6èmes could go to the playground inside the park and play like little kids We all enjoyed having some time to run around and relax, which was great because of all the pressure of exam week

Did you like orienteering?

I Liked that you get to run around in the sun and that it’s so fun that you actually want to do it.

Roxane

Did it make an impact on the stress of exam week?

What are your thoughts about orienteering, and how could we make it better?

I liked orienteering because you don't have to be watched by supervisors and we could make it better by making the places harder to find.

Sienna

Would you have liked to be put in a group you chose?

Yes, because it made me less nervous about getting the results for the exams

Yes, so I don’t get too bored during the activity Gustav

The winners were Sofia, Roxane, Maya, Loussine, Thomas and Sonia Their team found all the places on the map and came back first. They got the biggest box of chocolates but in the end every group got a prize for their participation

We are sure to say that everyone had a good time over there (even if it was a bit muddy)
