Orienteering

On Thursday 4th of April the whole school travelled to the Long Strand for an orienteering day out. The senior side of the school completed a trail through the woods, while the junior side played map games on the beach. Everyone then took part in an orienteering competition in the dunes and we all returned to the Fish Basket for some delicious refreshments. It was a great day out!
