The pupils showed an interest in each having a go to drive the speedboat along with the teacher's supportive demonstration and guidance. At the beginning all of the pupils went out on the speedboat as a group for the teacher to go through which ways to turn the steering wheel to go different directions and how to operate the lever to control how fast and slow the speedboat goes.
This blog highlights the wealth of activities the children at Riversides School experience during their weekly Outdoor Education lessons. The range of opportunities coupled with the diverse settings we visit enable the children to explore and engage in learning in a wide variety of ways. This also allows for cross curricular links to ICT, English, Science and Maths.

Speed boating with Year 9 at Bartley Sailing Club
The pupils then went out in pairs with the teacher where they took it in turns to travel up and down and side to side along the lake. Some of the pupils showed an interest in making doughnuts as they went round in a circular motion several times really quickly. After one of the pupils asked if they could go all the way around the edge of the lake along with the teacher and one of their peers.
