Team MajoobaAnisahZaraLaurenZulfaMisba arrived in Paris in Session 3 but after the posting of the individual placings, they knew that members of their team members were in with a chance of individual success. Team KyanRayvenAnnaliseMoniqueSydelleTaniqua knew that a strong session today could get them to Paris before Team GeorgiaTieraArougeAnilaSumairaUroosaMasoodaAnaSofiaAshleigh as they had a 20KM lead in 2nd Place and the Year 11 Girls were powering into a very tense session.

A staggering 562KM was covered by all teams! which was a increase on last weeks total but the staggering TOTAL for all 4 weeks is 2,2200KM!!

Individual Rat Race Poll Final Standings

The final standings are in and a HUGE thankyou to all the students that voted over the last 72hrs. Here are the final standings;

1st = Kyan
2nd = Zara/ Masooda/ Anisah
4th = Lauren/ Misba
6th = Majooba/ Sydelle/ Rayven/ Annalise

The reason for the poll was for each member of the top ten to gain extra KM, the place that they finished in would then earn them extra KM.
For example;
1st = 100km
2nd = 90km
3rd = 80km
4th = 70km
5th = 60km
6th = 50km
7th = 40km
8th = 30km
9th = 20km
10th = 10km

If there was a tie in positions then the points would be shared evenly for the places that are eliminated.
For example,
- Joint 2nd are Zara/ Masooda/ Anisah
- The points awarded for those 3positions are as follows;
2nd = 90km 
3rd = 80km
4th = 70km
(Total of = 240/ 3 = 80km each)

The actual standings after 3 weeks are now available via the google docs link below;

'Geocaching at Djanogly Competition' Week 4 = The Results are in!! (Term 4)

Last Thursday was the fourth and final day of the 'Geocaching at Djanogly Competition' and the weather was again perfect for the group.

On the final day, we decided to have 8 Geocaches available to the teams and the students had to collect a different coloured tag at each location (e.g. green, pink and blue). However, at each location the tags were worth points and they ranged from 50 points to 800 points. It was a timed event and it was a race to see which team could collect the most Geocaches the fastest. When that was completed the teams then had to find the location of me and handover the coloured tags that they had collected.

In addition, the team that came in first would gain bonus points and the points were as follows;

1st = 1000 BONUS
2nd = 750 BONUS
3rd = 500 BONUS
4th = 250 BONUS

With all these points up for grabs it was anyones competition and the current standings can be seen below;

1st = LANASUJOJA on 575pts
2nd = SIX LIONS on 485pts
3rd = BARBIE GIRLS on 375pts
4th = SPONGEBOB CIRCLE PANTS on 270pts
As we entered the Forest, I tweeted the starting positions for each team. When the pupils were at the locations, I then tweeted the locations of the 8 Geocaches. The Geocaches can be seen below;
A.

B.

C.

D.

E.

F.

G.

H.

When the students started moving to their chosen Geocache, I then tweeted photo hints of each location (Which can be seen above). The students could choose which Geocache they would head to first and remembering that they needed to collect them in the quickest time. Remembering that the students dont know the value of the Geocache until they arrive at location.

Each team went off in different directions looking for the Geocaches and trying to not give away locations after retrieving a Geocache.

At 15.05pm I tweeted my location to the teams and all four teams started to make their way to the finish. All teams were running to the finish knowing the bonus points up for grabs but to claim the points all team members must be at the finish together.

First to arrive with only half of their team was Spongebob Circle Pants (Currently in 4th place) and then half of Six Lions arrived. Both teams encouraging their team mates to hurry up but it was Spongebob that had their whole team at the finish first claiming the 1000pts for 1st Place!

With all teams at the finish I collected in the Geocaches that the teams had found and the results were in!!

1st Place went to............

Six Lions are the winners with a massive 3335pts! just pipping the amazing performance on the final day from Spongebob Circle Pants who had 3220pts! Lanasujoja slipped into third place with 2025pts and Barbie Girls in 4th with 1425pts!

The final positions are;

It has been a excellent competition over the four weeks and the students have had a unique experience of Geocaching that isnt on any PE Curriculum. Each week the students techniques and skills improved using the GPS on their phones and it has provided them all with valuable skills that can be used outside of a PE lesson.

Well done to everyone and it has been a pleasure organising the activity!!

Have a good week!!
