Orienteering Course


Continuing with our series of  posts to help assist teachers teaching PE in Ireland we have finally completed our Orienteering course complete with clues, answer cards, station markers and so on.

Once laminated they should last for a long time and they can be used for indoor orienteering in a hall or outdoor around the school grounds or in the woods.

We decided to base our plan for outdoor adventure and games solely on the Orienteering strand and hopefully have come up with a resource that will become common place in schools around Ireland

Next we will tackle the Games Strand.



For now check out the orienteering resource here

PE Resources for Primary Schools



It's been a while since I posted as I wanted to take a bit of time to put thought into creating this set of resources. They are meant to help teachers and schools plan effectively for the PE curriculum amongst their classes.. They are really prompt sheets but if you were to print them out and laminate them they will provide you with a really comprehensive plan going forward.
Of course the games we could play are endless in number and variation but i tried to marry ease of organisation, equipment requirements and enjoyment into my choices here. I would also encourage you to use them in conjunction with the excellent PDST Move Well Move Often Resources.

Over the next number of weeks i will add a prompt sheet for each of the curricular areas with the exception of aquatics. The first post includes a suggested yearly plan for PE and a prompt sheet for the athletics strand. I am happy to answer any questions on the games or activities through my twitter page. I am no expert so if anyone has any alternatives to suggest I would only be too happy to hear of them also.

With the PE curriculum due for change in the coming years to coincide with the new 2nd level curriculum I would love to see a strand included on emotional well-being. I think this would compliment the physical well-being nature of the PE curriculum as well as tie in with SPHE.

Anyway back to the present. These resources will be available on twitter as well as the following

as well as here......





The next strand i hope to tackle is the orienteering. I am currently drawing up a set of orienteering cards that will form the main part of that resource so keep tuned and thank you for all your kind words of encouragement so far.
