Year 6 PE unit for the last few weeks has been orienteering. During these lessons, the children have made obstacle courses and plotted them on maps, made their own symbols for a map key, used compasses to give directions and followed maps to locate beanbags hidden in...

We have been developing our balance, agility and co-ordination and applying these skills within our gymnastics lessons.
