Approaches to outdoor and<br />

adventure activities<br />

When planning to teach an outdoor<br />

and adventure activities programme it<br />

is recommended that the teacher plan<br />

in advance how the strand units can be<br />

delivered. Some lessons may focus on<br />

one strand unit, other lessons may<br />

outline the content of a number of<br />

strand units.<br />

In addition to the considerations<br />

outlined on pp. 34–9 the following<br />

guide will aid the planning process for<br />

outdoor and adventure activities. The<br />

teacher should consider<br />

• warm-up and cool-down activities<br />

appropriate to the particular lessons<br />

• inviting support from additional<br />

personnel to help with group work<br />

or any activity that involves<br />

travelling from the school site<br />

• visiting an outdoor activities centre<br />

which provides opportunities for<br />

orienteering, adventure challenges<br />

or water-based activities<br />

• planning for aspects of a number of<br />

strand units to be delivered in each<br />

lesson or emphasising a particular<br />

strand unit for some lessons.<br />

Exemplar 17 outlines a series of five<br />

lessons for first or second class. It<br />

incorporates content from the four<br />

strand units of the curriculum for this<br />

level. Lessons 1–3 outline three<br />

activities to be undertaken—one<br />

activity is undertaken by each group<br />

in each of the lessons.<br />
