Emmaville Primary School

Year 6 Orienteering at Thorp

4th October 2024

The children of Year 6 spent a sunny afternoon up at Thorp Academy, taking part in a cluster schools orienteering event. The Emmaville House Teams were split into small groups, each of which was given three maps of the school grounds. Each map showed increasingly tricky routes that included a series of waypoints to be visited. Time limits were set and points for each correct waypoint recorded were up for grabs, as well as bonus points for early finishers and penalty points for anyone infringing the rules of play. It was hard work, but there was a lot of determination and encouragement evident throughout the afternoon, which was brilliant to see. A special well done to Sage, who earned the most points.
