Year 6 Residential - Last Day!🙌🏼

Year 6 Residential - Last Day!🙌🏼 Our final day at Burwell House was packed with excitement, teamwork and a little bit of packing! First up was the Burwell Orienteering Challenge! Teams headed out into the village to find checkpoints scattered around the area, answering questions and collecting points along the way. But there was a catch – don't be late back, or you would lose valuable points! Every group did an amazing job, showing fantastic teamwork and determination. A huge well done to Miss Rushen's group for taking the winning spot! Next came the Smugglers' Challenge! Using four-figure grid references, the children had to navigate their way through clues and locations to solve a mystery. There was plenty of thinking, map-reading and problem-solving along the way. What a fantastic final day to round off an unforgettable Year 6 residential. Well done, everyone! We are so proud of you all! A huge thank you to all the staff who supported the residential and went above...

  Year 6 Residential - Day Three 🥚 What another fantastic day at Burwell House for our Year 6 residential! Today began with an exciting opportunity to explore Burwell village, taking part in surveying activities and discovering more about the local area. There was plenty to see, learn and investigate! Next came the much-anticipated The Great Eggscape Challenge!  Working in teams, the children tackled a series of fun challenges to earn mini eggs. These became their currency, which they used to buy materials and equipment to protect their eggs from the ultimate test – a great egg drop! There was lots of teamwork, creativity, problem-solving and, of course, plenty of fun along the way! We finished our action-packed day gathered around the campfire, playing games, sharing laughs and toasting delicious marshmallows. What a brilliant way to end another memorable day! Happy Fireworks Night from everyone at Burwell House! 🎆🔥 Burwell Village Our Year 6 children enjoyed explori...
