Orienteering Festival 2020
Y1-3 Orienteering Festival
TEAMS
6 children per team, (preferably 3 girls and 3 boys)
3 pairs per team
Please make sure that the children know if they are in team 1, 2, 3, etc. (Please don’t use any other team names as our scoring system won’t cope!)
KIT
Please come appropriately dressed for the weather – we would suggest lots of layers, it’s always better to remove layers rather than being cold. Rainwear is absolutely essential.
Footwear – wear trainers but bring boots as well if there’s been a lot of rain as our fields can be very muddy.
BRING
Each child should bring a full water bottle and a snack to have at 14.00 hrs during the gap between the finish and the results as it will take a short while to collate the scores.
PARKING – is an issue!
There is room for 10 cars ONLY at The Activity Zone, (then walk across coming around the front of the school).
Cars can park in our bus bay but must be removed by 15.00hrs. There will no cars on the field at any time.
TOILETS
From the bus bay please access school by the hall door and use the toilets by the canteen. Our lunchtime starts at 12.25hrs so it is very busy around the canteen area until about 13.00hrs.
FIRST AID
Please bring a basic first aid bag so that you have something available at your team base to deal with minor problems. There will be a central bag available but as this is such a big event it would be easier for you to deal with issues at your team base in the first instance.
