A fantastic weekend at Farleigh with 100 boarders making the most of the bits of good weather and the activities on offer.

Fairy cake baking, face painting, arts and crafts, tennis trials, cricket nets, soccer, woodland games and more. The children had the opportunity to choose any, or all of these activities, and the photos attest to the fun they had. A picnic lunch on the lawn on Sunday before an hour's revision session - just to keep the brain ticking over!

In the afternoon there were two main activities. The first was a series of old fashioned fair type games. These included going in the stocks, a coconut shy, apple bobbing, egg catching, and egg and spoon races. The second was a giant water slide. It is amazing how much fun you can have with a bit of plastic, some water and washing up liquid. For over an hour the children whizzed down the slide with whoops of delight.
