Mrs Smith’s Orienteering

Mrs Smith has been running orienteering for the year fives and sixes. All of the kids who signed up trained about 8 times. From all the training, they went to Halswell Quarry and got timed for how fast they did the course. The hills were 50 metres high and the whole course was 1.6 kilometres. We interviewed Olivia Richards from Room 16 (OR) and Alex Lee from Room 15 (AL) to ask them these questions.
BW + JP: What is your goal for Halswell Quarry?
OR: To finish and not get lost.
AL: To have fun and complete it.
BW + JP: What was your favourite part about
orienteering?
OR: Finishing.
AL: Going to a championship and having fun.
BW + JP: Why did you want to do orienteering?
OR: To have fun and my friends were doing it.
AL: Because I did it with Mrs Smith.
BW + JP: What or who inspired you?
OR: The instructors at Wainui camp.
AL: Mrs Smith.
