Year 5 began the Summer term with their annual visit to Fairplay House Outdoor Education Centre. Fairplay House is a unique outdoor activity centre, situated in beautiful rural Essex, and is visited every year by our Year 5 students. Waking up bright and early and departing on a Monday morning, the children were buzzing with excitement, wondering what adventures lay ahead.

On approach to the grounds, the children were amazed at how picturesque the scenery was. They enjoyed their time in the countryside, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the sites. With no time to waste, they quickly unpacked and were assigned their own rooms.

Using our newly designed playground at the front of the school, they ran a ‘10p Race.’ Every class brought in 10p coins as a donation for the charity, which were then collected up by members of the School Council. The school councillors then placed the coins, one by one, along lines marked in the playground to measure the total distance accumulated by each individual class.
