Children will work individually or in small groups. Activity can be teacher lead.
Each group will be given an Enrich School Orienteering Map with a range of control marker numbers clearly highlighted (10).
Children will navigate around the course and scan the QR codes on the markers that they locate. Answers and observations will be recorded on their activity sheet

Children work in a small grouop to plan a circuit which starts/finishes at one of the markers and incorporates several other markers.
The size of their circuit should add up to 1 mile when completed a set number of times.
They must measure the size of potential circuits by measuring the distance in cm between individual markers on their Enrich School Orienteering map and then converting this to metres, using the scale on their map.
Children take turns to run and take a word card from a selection in a hoop. They call out the word and the next child has to run to find a matching word card.
They take another word card, call out the word and the next child has to run to find a matching word card.
The adult calls out a word. Children take turns to run to a ‘washing line’ on which there is a set of letter cards and try to find the next letter in the word.
They continue until their team has ‘spelt’ the word that the adult called out.
Children sit in a circle. They each have a large word card and one child has a ball.
The adult calls a word and the child with the ball has to pass or roll it to the first letter in the word.
They then pass the ball to the next child in the circle and the children continue to ‘spell’ the word by passing the ball across the circle to each of the letters in order.
