Year 5 and 6 children enjoyed an active, fun and physical Wednesday afternoon this week. After a stroll up to the obstacle course, they were divided into two teams and they were given a time limit of 9 minutes as a team to collect strategically placed equipment from around the obstacle course. Speed and stamina were both important to gain as much equipment for their team. When the time was up…the task then involved creating a bridge,using the equipment that they had successfully collected, across ‘no man’s land’. The catch was that they were not allowed to touch the ground, therefore teamwork and strategy were essential.
A walk back to the sports courts…and then a modified ball skills game involving two teams and a race to score points. Both teams battled it out to earn the winning points.
And then a fun, competitive and energetic game or rock, paper, scissors finished the afternoon off.
