Collaborative (Orienteering)
At the start of term 2, we started to learn about orienteering. In the beginning, we did lots of different courses around the school and then we did some around manning park. When doing orienteering you work as a collaborative team doing different jobs at once to find the right point. When we went to manning park Me, Pritika, Tiana and Holly all worked together to try and find the points. Me and Tiana we the ones that were doing the map work, Holly was using the compass with the bearings we had written down in the lesson before and Pritika was doing our pacing. This helped us to find most of our points because we were working collaboratively. I loved doing orienteering every though I wasn’t the best at it, and I learnt a lot of different skills.
Self-Aware (Archery)
About 2 weeks into term 2 we started Archery. We started by shooting at targets and worked our way to a cloud shoot. When doing Archery you have to be very self-aware, this is because you must always be paying attention. This includes listening for the different whistles, to either step up to the line, shoot your arrow or collect your arrow. Making sure that only two people at a time are pulling their arrows your of the target. Looking out for others when your shooting, by making sure that your bow and arrow is pointed towards the target and not way off to the side. Overall I really enjoyed doing archery as I had never done it before and it was a great experience for me.
Effective communication (snorkelling)
In Term 1 we focused on snorkelling. In our first few lessons, we learnt the basic skills of snorkelling. After this, we went down to the Omeo Shipwreck at Coogee. My partner for snorkelling was Tiana we had to use very effective communication as we were underwater. This was very important because you had to always check up on your partner to make sure they were ok. Near the end of them, we went to Rottnest. This was a great experience for all of the Muir classes. At the Basin, we had to have even better communication as it was easier to hurt ourselves and get lost. We got to do 2 different snorkels at the Basin. Our day at Rottnest and the entire snorkelling unit was so much fun to do and learn more about.
