Students will further develop their knowledge and understanding of terminology and map reading skills and practice. They will recap and develop scale and pace counting. They will further practice their skills and knowledge through a variety of events: star, score, relay, sprint, (mountain bike). They will develop their understanding of different events which will help them create their own orienteering course. They will explore a variety of problems within pairs, small groups and larger groups, problems including tyre activities, bench activities, rope and mat activities, poles and ball (balancing etc) and 'Cross the river activities’. These challenges will test and develop students mental, social and physical skills. In addition, there will be mathematical, sequential and cognitive problems included in activities, starters and plenaries. Students will develop their communication, problem solving, resilience, teamwork and leadership skills through a series of different activities, practices and games. Students will recap the components of fitness required in each problem-solving activity. Students will be expected to retrieve skeletal system and muscular system knowledge from badminton and health & fitness SOL through Q&A and leading warm-ups/cooldowns.

Students will know that when pace counting the same foot that strikes the floor = one pace. They will discover the different events organised by British Orienteering and the impact this does on participation levels. They will acquire knowledge that will assist them in creating their own cross-country course which is appropriate yet challenging.  They will explore a variety of problems  within pairs, small groups and larger groups, problems including tyre activities (organizing into numerical order challenges, relay races, paarlauf/endurance activities, standing on tyres as a group), bench activities (Organising groups into height order, age order, shoes size etc without touch the floor both verbally/non verbally), rope and mat activities (human knot), poles and ball (balancing, carrying a ball etc) and 'Cross the river activities' . Additionally, fitness worksheets with problem solving activities can be explored. These challenges will test and develop students mental, social and physical skills. In addition, there will be mathematical, sequential and cognitive problems included in activities, starters and plenaries. Students will be expected to retrieve skeletal system and muscular system knowledge from badminton and health & fitness SOL through Q&A and leading warm-ups/cooldowns. Students will develop and retrieve understanding of the required components of fitness with relation to problem solving and how can they be transferred into other sports.

Students will develop their orienteering terminology: star course, line feature, catching feature, scale, control point, gradient, key etc and understanding the meaning of these terms and how they apply to orienteering. Students will also learn rules around safety i.e., return to start point on three sharp whistles, never become separated from your partner. Students will develop their problem solving skills though variety of problems within pairs, small groups and larger groups, problems including tyre activities (organizing into numerical order challenges, relay races, paarlauf/endurance activities, standing on tyres as a group), bench activities (Organising groups into height order, age order, shoes size etc without touch the floor both verbally/non verbally), rope and mat activities (human knot), poles and ball (balancing, carrying a ball etc) and 'Cross the river activities' . Additionally, fitness worksheets with problem solving activities can be explored. These challenges will test and develop students mental, social and physical skills. In addition, there will be mathematical, sequential and cognitive problems included in activities, starters and plenaries. Students will recap their knowledge of cardiovascular fitness and the importance of cardiovascular fitness whilst orienteering. They will also recap the reason for pacing and how to do this effectively. Students will further develop knowledge of the importance of leadership, organisation, communication, trust, resilience and independence for orienteering and in everyday life. Students will recap further develop their understanding of the components of fitness required and when they are required throughout different activities.

Students will develop their skill of pace counting and how to get an accurate measurement for both sprinting and jogging. They will display their cardiovascular fitness/speed to a variety of different events. They will execute their own challenging orienteering course. They will explore a variety of problems including tyres within small and larger groups, problems including poles and ball balancing etc) and 'Cross the river activities’. These challenges will test and develop students mental, social and physical skills. In addition, there will be mathematical, sequential and cognitive problems included in activities, starters and plenaries. Students will acquire new knowledge through participating in practices, watching and performing in demonstrations, using task cards and analysing video footage. Students will develop their understanding through peer assessment and offering their partner with constructive feedback

Students will develop ability to locate control points easily by using catching features and therefore learn to 'aim off’. Students will also develop ‘thumbing', measuring the distance of each leg using the scale. Students will learn how to pace themselves.

 Key questions that students should be able to answer at the end of the 'Topic'

Which type of orienteering event suits you the best? (star, score, relay, sprint, mountain bike)
