Day 2 at Fairplay House

Thu 30 Jan 2020

The second day started with an early rise. We were woken at 7am to tuck into a delicious breakfast of cereal, sausages and beans. Yum! The children were taken back to their bedrooms to get ready for the room inspection, where two teachers (Luke and Kiel) came up to their rooms to judge how neat and tidy they were. Fascinatingly, not many children got a score higher than 7 that was out of 10, however the most untidy room belonged to…. Kate and Nicole! Disgusting! Don’t worry though; we’ll try again tomorrow.

We then got ready to start our second activity of the week. Group 1 went on the big swing, group 2 to the woods, group 3 went caving and group 4 went on the high ropes. After a thrilling start to the day, we settled down for lunch, which we made and packed up ourselves. Following our next pep talk, we journeyed to our third activities. Group 1 on the high ropes, group 2 on the big swing, group 3 is off to the woods and group 4 to the caves! After a long and tiring day, we settled down to watch… Stormbreaker! Complete with popcorn and hot chocolate, it was the perfect way to end the day.

With only one more busy day at Fairplay house, we must quickly head to bed and prepare ourselves for our final activities (and hopefully much more positive room inspections).

Day 1 at Fairplay House

Wed 29 Jan 2020

At last, the Fairplay House excitement started today! We got to the coach on time and arrived safely at the house after a smooth journey. First we were introduced to the instructors and we found out which rooms we would be in! Boys upstairs and girls down. Next we moved our bags, unpacked and then practised a few fire drills before it was time for lunch. After that we split into our groups and started our first activity. For group 1 that involved challenges in the woods, group 2 did caving, group 3 went onto the high ropes and group 4 tackled the big swing. Over the next few days all the groups will take part in all the activities. Dinner was… PIZZA! And before that we had to make our own beds which included putting on the sheets and sorting the pillows and duvets. Some children have clearly had more practice at this than others…….!

After dinner it was time for the infamous Night Walk! Dom gave us the mission briefing using Google Maps and then we were dropped in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a walkie talkie. Luckily we all made it back in one piece and had steaming hot chocolate as our reward before heading back to our rooms for bed. I’m sure we will all sleep well tonight and we’ll update you all with our adventures tomorrow!
