From Year 3, 39 children went on the Burwell Residential Trip. This was the first opportunity for the children to experience a residential, and the children all had an amazing time!

We had written a script in advance and spent time in Burwell's television studio, recording, directing and presenting or own TV news program. Alongside this we became expert at map reading and orienteering. We enjoyed a variety of team challenges which culminated in the 'Great Egg Drop. After a lovely village walk our final activity was a game of Burwell Fox, where the children had toe vade the wily farmers (who may or may not have been the teachers wearing dressing up clothes-we couldn't possibly comment).

The children were fully responsible for both setting and clearing away the tables in the dining room, and after all of our activities, ate huge quantities of delicious food. We were so fortunate to enjoy such amazing weather, and the children loved being outside, running around the large grounds of Burwell House.

It was so nice to see the children in a non academic session working together and enjoying themselves. Several children said that they had had the best time EVER, and a parent even told me that their child had commented over the weekend that they wished they were still at Burwell House! I think we can safely say it was a successful visit!
