'Geocaching at Djanogly Competition' Week 2 (Term 4)

Last week was the second day of the 'Geocaching at Djanogly Competition' and the weather was again perfect.

On Day 2 we decided to have 8 Geocaches available to the groups and this week the groups had a task to complete at each location (e.g. Take a picture with two of your team members shaking hands). Shown below are the locations of the Geocaches.

Each photo taken by the teams equalled to 25 points and the teams had the choice of which ones they went to.

Each team went off in different directions and had a different strategy to which Geocache they went to first. It was great to see all teams competing and trying to find as many Geocaches before the end of the lesson. Six Lions produced a amazing performance finding six Geocaches (the highest total) with Lanasujoja coming in second with four.
Here are a few photos of the tasks;

The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and we had a few technical hiccups (Pupils unable to see the GPS position on the map sent from my computer and I then retweeted all of the Geocaches with photo hints). Well done girls for carrying on despite the problems and tomorrow we will have a different task.

The scores have counted and they can be accessed via google docs, here;

Week 2 scores for Spongebob Circle Pants :) and Barbie girls are yet to be counted because their photos have not been sent to @MrPKeirnan_PKK. I need them asap!!

Well done and we will be looking forward to tomorrows lesson!!
