Felsted offers a comprehensive weekend activity programme for our
traditional full boarders. This exciting programme includes a number of
indoor, outdoor, physical, recreational and cultural activities.Weekend activity programmes for children
Shopping and cinema trips to Braintree, Chelmsford and Cambridge are a
regular Felsted favourite along with evening meals out to local
restaurants and outings to Theme Parks and tourist attractions.
All houses have games consoles and subscriptions to film libraries and
sports channels so there is a lot to do in the comfort of the boarding
houses too. Each Sunday there is brunch followed by coffee club, plus a
choice of an outing or an indoor activity such as dodgeball, baking,
chess, water polo and craft making… the list goes on!
As well as these planned Sunday outings, the Activities Team offer a
range of alternatives for Felsted students to enjoy on a Sunday.We all
know Sundays are a day for relaxing or catching up on the sorts of
things we have not had the chance to do in the week, whether that be
cramming in the last four episodes of our favourite Netflix series, or
blowing the cobwebs off the long forgotten trainers and having a good
run around outside.
Starting with Coffee Club on a Sunday morning in Aroma, where students
can socialise and chat to their friends or get stuck into the Sunday
newspaper or latest magazine and just shut the world away for an hour.
After we have all had our fair share of relaxation/socialising it is
time to roll out the fun. In the afternoon we offer a range of
activities, from dodge ball to crafts (cake baking, card making), from
Felsted Monopoly (an interactive game, where students have to complete a
range of tasks around the local area in order to win that part of the
board) to movie Sundays, or my personal favourite, the Sunday quiz.
Whatever the activity, our aim is to make it fun and rewarding for our
boarders!
