This afternoon the children worked in pairs, with one child wearing a blindfold while their partner guided them through an obstacle course in the woods. They had to listen carefully, trust each other, and work together to get around the different obstacles. They all enjoyed the challenge and showed great teamwork, communication, and encouragement throughout the activity. 🕶🍃🪵🌳

Today, year 4 children settled into Burwell with a fun game of “The Snail Game” before enjoying a delicious pizza lunch.

This afternoon, they spent time exploring the grounds through an orienteering activity, searching for markers hidden around the garden. They then got creative by making natural sculptures, including self-portraits, butterflies, and designs of their own choosing.
