Year One Fun has Begun

The Year 1 students have been learning about directions and how to use positional language to guide others. To put their learning into practice, we set up an exciting obstacle course where students worked with a partner, who had their eyes closed, to navigate their way through the course. 

They took turns being the leader and the follower, using clear instructions and directional language to guide their partner safely around , over and through the different obstacles.

Students practised using words such as left, right, forwards, backwards, around and through to help their partner find their way. They needed to listen carefully, communicate clearly and think about the order of their instructions to ensure their partner could successfully complete the course.

This hands on activity was a fun and engaging way for students to apply their understanding of directions while developing their communication, listening, teamwork and problem solving skills.
