Quote from Ms Syme Grade Three Teacher at George P.
Nicholson:
"The children from George P. Nicholson thoroughly enjoyed
orienteering. Barbara was well prepared and organized for the
program in advance, having all the stations in place, her power point
ready to go and her impressive maps ready for the children to use.
She gave very clear instructions so that each and every child had a good
understanding of orienteering and how to use a map. This
orienteering program taught real life skills in an exciting, engaging
and student-centered approach! Thanks, Barbara!" |

| Quotes from children and classes:
"We had lots of fun orienteering with Mrs. Johnston. I
liked how we got to use a map on our own to find where we were going.
We loved punching our maps! That was cool. We loved
orienteering because it is fun and great exercise and we can be
outside."

"I really enjoyed orienteering because I really caught on how to
use a map and find places. I got to run around and get fresh air
and see if I could be faster on my next course. I loved finding
the flags and using the punches! I can't wait to do it
again."

find destinations."

"I had lots of fun when you came for orienteering. I didn't
think it would be that much fun, but I was wrong! The best thing
about orienteering is running and trying to find all the flags.
The most challenging part was trying to find all the flags in
time."

"What I really enjoyed about orienteering was running around on a
really sunny day. I also enjoyed finding things and punching our
maps."
Rebecca Y, Grade Four |
|
"I liked orienteering because you have to run around from place
to place as fast as you can. I like that because I like to run.
I also liked it because you have to prove and show you have been
there."
