Year 7 visited an Escape Room experience on Wednesday. Escape rooms from the ground up are built for teamwork. Pupils were given a goal to accomplish within a time limit and had to work together to achieve this goal. With eight escape rooms to choose from, each group decided upon their quest. With only 60 minutes to escape, the children were put under pressure to solve the clues from bomb disposals to solving a murder and even helping an owl escape from the Headmaster’s Office. Year 7 had a great day using their cooperation, communication and problem-solving skills, whilst also having a lot of fun.
