On a lovely morning in October grade 5 gathered on the beach in the forrest nearby the school in order to practice how to find your way with the help of a compass and a map.
The controls looked like this one
Mr Johansson, our sports teacher, explained what to do.
Final instructions in the start box
The twenty controls were spread in the area around the school. We had to find as many as possible in one hour.
One of the teams heding for the finish.
When arriving we were checked so that no one was lost or missing.
Our student teacher controlled our results.
After you could sit in the sun by the beach
Water and apples were waiting by the finish 
One hour, not more. Extra minutes were minus one point!
I think I see a group of future runners. They look very talented. Do they particpate in a kids running program?
ReplyDeleteYou guys are lucky you get to go to the beach, our school would never let us do that. We canceled our field day because of a thunder storm. Then a couple weeks later it was still raining so we had only half the stuff. We had a moon bounce and a volley ball game in the gym and a water slide outside. I got in big trouble during the volleyball game. I got yelled at by 2 teachers and 1 chaperone. The water slide was freezing cold because it was raining. Then we played a game where you tossed a soaked sponge over our head very fast or all the water would drop on you your head. We usually have a lot of events over at a place called Lum’s Pond. Peace!!!!!!!
