Orienteering

L.I : I was learning how to read a map to help me find the controls.

This term I learnt Orienteering.On the map there was a code of numbers and letters.Beside each letter on the map there was a clue to help me find the control.We had to have the map pointing North

Self Reflection :

l think I did quite well because only sometimes I would use the map correctly. At other times I would use help from my teacher or the 2 instructors or from my classmates. But I’m okay because next year I think I will get better and start to understand how to read a map to help me find the controls.

Japan

Today I was learning about different things the Japanese people do.
