This week Lower 2, or Year 4, went on their first residential trip. They spent three jam-packed days at the fantastic Burwell House, Cambridgeshire, learning, collaborating and generally having a wonderful time.
The girls developed a variety of new skills during their stay. Burwell House, with its lovely enclosed grounds, was a perfect place to explore and develop their map reading. The girls learnt how to orientate a map, use four figure grid references and accurately use a compass. Once we had mastered these by exploring the gardens, we headed out into Burwell village for a thrilling, timed orienteering challenge.
There were many highlights for the girls, who have not stopped talking about all the things they experienced since getting back.
