Milkcrate Mapquest

So you have to solve a riddle by searching the school. The catch...you cannot touch the ground! My 2010 OP students had to travel around the school searching for clues to solve their riddle using only milkcrates to keep themselves from touching the ground. Their journey started in the gym, took them to the library, main office, cafeteria and games area before returning to the gym. The class learned to support each other, work as a team and communicate to solve their riddle. They also had a lot of fun...even though they complained in the beginning.

The picture above is the group in the main hall on their way to the library.

Prusik Climbing

My 2010 OP crew have been belaying like crazy to get ready for their big test...the "Monster" challenge course at MVHS. We started with some floor exercises and practicing with the SGB's. Then we did the Roman Ladder, which proved to be a little harder than the group thought it would be. Next it was climbing the bleachers with a 4 person belay team, then it was prusik climbing with a belay team.
Eventually the group will be prusiking and rappelling with belays.

The picture above is Ashton, Evan, Thomas & David as the 4 person belay team, with myself supervising their set up. For more photos of our group go to my webpage at http://bonarlaw.nbed.nb.ca/teacher/gallery/indoor-climbing
