Fairthorne Manor 2019

Year 3 Fairthorne Residential

We had smashing weather and great fun for two days at Fairthorne Manor. Fears were conquered, friends were made and challenges were overcome! We are really proud of the good behaviour and cooperation demonstrated by the whole group.

Here are a few photos of Year 3 children working as a team, conquering their fears, trying new things, solving problems and overcoming challenges. They were an absolute pleasure to accompany and did themselves proud!

Slam Dunk-Part 2!

After too much Knapp House tasty food (and far too many Kitkats), the staff of Oakwood managed to leave a lasting impression!

Fun at the Lakes.

After a final night at Knapp it was bags packed and ready to return to Oakwood-exhausted from a terrific week. However, before we departed there was still a final fun packed adventure waiting for us down on the lake.

Sunny Thursday at Knapp.

Sun is back out and determination in the air as all children traverse up the climbing tree. Even Mrs Wheeler and Ms Dowle managed to conquer their fears and get to the top, encouraged by the children shouting 'mindset'-miracles do happen!

Action Packed Wednesday at Knapp!

The sky clouded over but spirits weren't dampened as we trekked along the coast; pedaled our way to victory and rode the waves on the ringos. What an exhilarating day!

More Climbing at Knapp!

The excitement and challenges over the last few days, caught up with the children last night-they all slept soundly and had to be woken up this morning. Then it was off to the coast for groups 1 and 2 (photos to follow), whilst groups 3 and 4 had their turn at abseiling back on the Knapp House tower.

Knapp 2015-Tunnels, crates and Low Rope Challenges!

After this morning's exhilarating surf, Year 6 put their growth mindset to good use to face the demanding challenges of tunnelling, crates and low ropes. "We can do it!" and we did! Here is the evidence.

Knapp House 2015-Surfing Stars.

A great first night at Knapp. All children exhausted from a packed first day and not only went to bed earlier than expected, but slept right through. All groups have been together for the morning surfing at Westwood Ho! Take a look at the fun we had:-

Icecreams, boatride and crabs-say no more!

Ringo Fun at the Beach-Knapp House 2015

Hold onto your safety hats, Year 6 Knapp House groups 1 and 2 were having fun on the ringo this afternoon. With ideal conditions and under glorious sunshine, there was smiles and laughter all around as, after an exhilarating speed boat ride, the children twisted and bumped their way through the water. Take a look at the fun we had:-

Fairthorne Residential

Last week, thirty-nine children from Year 3 set of for Fairthorne Manor YMCA Activity Centre for two days and a night of adventure!

Here are a few photos of children working together and challenging themselves to overcome daunting tasks such as a gigantic climbing wall, a strenuous low-ropes course, an archery course and an aerial runway. The weather was great and the children loved the camp-fire sing-song on Thursday night!

They all did brilliantly, especially considering it was the first night away from family for many of them.
