Teamwork and Orienteering in Action

 Our 3ºC students have recently taken part in a cooperative orienteering gymkhana designed to combine Physical Education and English in a practical and motivating way. This activity challenged them to work together while using English as their main language of communication throughout the different stages of the course.

Throughout this unit in Physical Education, we have been working on basic orienteering skills such as map reading, spatial awareness, and decision-making. During the gymkhana, students had to complete different physical challenges in groups while following instructions and communicating in English. The focus was not only on physical performance, but also on teamwork, cooperation, and effective communication.

Participating in this activity allowed students to experience how important collaboration is when facing challenges. They organised roles within their teams, supported each other, and used English as a real tool to solve problems and move forward in the course. Beyond completing the tasks, the most valuable achievement was strengthening their team spirit and confidence in using a foreign language in a practical context.

Congratulations to 3ºC for their positive attitude, effort, and enthusiasm.

We look forward to many more active and collaborative learning experiences!
