Orientation Course!

Today the year 7&8 Extension group did an orienteering course, but first we had to learn how to use a compass.

During Extension we were told, we were going to be taught how to use a compass. The time came and Mr Jacobson walked in with a box of compasses. He taught us how to use it and what some of the things on the compass were and what they were used for.

After we got sent off to the course. I was paired up with Eden. Once we got sent off to our orienteering point we decided to start. We looked at the letter then wrote it on our paper. We then looked at the numbers and made our compass face in the direction we thought was right! We walked as our shoes got wet :( We made it to our next destination and did the same thing over and over again, until we cracked the code.

Well done us! We've solved the code!

Have a close look, "Well done us." Ah ha! That's it that was the code we needed to crack. We all had an amazing and fun time thanks to Mr Jacobson for making this possible!
