Never Eat Soggy Weetbix

 Room 8 are learning to give and follow directions. We remember the compass directions with some sayings 'Never Eat Soggy Weetix' 'Never Ever Smash Windows' and the Kidd-li-winks keep coming up with their own sayings. The sayings help us to work out where east and west are once we know where north is.

Our challenge was to work in groups to make an obstacle with compass directions that someone else could follow.

The next day we re-created our obstacle courses and tested them out one last time before we passed over our directions to another team to complete. The Kidd-li-winks worked together to read the directions and find their way around the obstacle courses. Here are Thomas, Bowen, Rana, Jerome and George completing Czar's. Isabella's, Teague's and Jacob's obstacle course.
