SCHOOL MULTI ACTIVITY PROGRAMMES

When it comes to schools, colleges or youth groups surf, bodyboard and coasteer courses, there really is no competition.

The Rip Curl ESF Surf School and Newquay Activity Centre is the market leader. We have worked extensively with schools and colleges for 20 years and have a fantastic reputation for providing safe, enjoyable and educational packages.

Our concentration of resources into just one surf, bodyboard and coasteer area (around the world famous Fistral beach) enables us to offer consistently high standards of service and organisation.

The Rip Curl ESF Surf School demonstrates quality of a high calibre through and through, and our constant reinvestment means that our already excellent product just goes from strength to strength.

The Rip Curl ESF Surf Activities can be adapted to feature key curriculum topics. The educational themes are embedded within the activities themselves and cover subjects like Science, Maths, English Language and Literature, Personal development within Communication and Social Skills, emotional development within self-confidence and motivational skills as well as physical development within Gross and Fine motor skills.

Embedded educational activities:

The Rip Curl ESF Surf School activities have the following leaning criteria embedded within them:

Communication, language and literacy

The Rip Curl ESF Surf School Educational programme supports children to develop:

• Conversational skills with one other person, in small groups and in large groups to talk with and listen to others during the experience
• Their vocabulary by learning the meaning of - and being able to use - new words akin to the Latin names for the creatures they meet
• Their ability to use words to describe their experiences and re-tell the story of their experience or write about it back at school
• Their knowledge of the sounds and letters that make up the words we use.
• Their ability to listen to, and talk about the experience or discoveries.

Knowledge and understanding of the world

Our programme supports children to develop:

• Knowledge about the natural world and beach environment and how it works.
• Knowledge about how the environment is formed on the coast.
• Learning about how to handle creatures and have a respect for their environment and the creatures themselves.
• Learning about symbiosis and bio diversity.
• Learning about their locality and its special features

Personal, social and emotional development

Our programme supports children to develop:

• Positive approaches to learning and finding out about the world around them and how to interact with it.
• Confidence in themselves and their ability to do things, and valuing their own achievements.
• Their awareness of, and being able to keep to, the rules which we all need to help us to look after ourselves, other people and our environment.

Physical development

Our programme supports children to develop:

• Control over the large movements that they can make with their arms, legs and bodies move correctly and expressively during a body boarding/surfing session.
• The programme will also promote balance and lift gross motor skills.
• Control over the small movements they can make with their arms, wrists and hands, so that they can pick small objects or creatures safely and delicately as not to hurt them.
• Their understanding about the importance of, and how to look after, their bodies and Wellbeing.

The Rip Curl ESF Surf School Educational programme can also be tailored to specific learning goals within your chosen Curriculum. For example we could tailor it towards Problem solving or Maths. This would be done be using specific wording and information given to the children throughout the experience.

Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy

Our programme supports children to develop:

• Understanding and ideas about how many legs does the crab have, how much time before the tide comes in or goes out, how far and how big
• Understanding and ideas about patterns, the shape of objects and parts of objects, and the amount of space taken up by objects;
• Understanding that numbers help us to answer questions about how many, how much, how far and how big;
• Understanding and ideas about how to use counting to find out how many.
• Early ideas about the result of adding more or taking away from the amount we already have

FEEDBACK FROM CHILDREN , PARENTS AND TEACHERS

"Thanks Karl! The enjoyment that my lot get from the activities.. I must say…it is down to you! Thank you SO much for putting so much of yourself into the sessions, it is exactly what I wanted for the kids, it would not be the same with anyone else!" Susan Pillinger Headteacher, St Dennis CP School

"Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo is about a boy who gets washed up on a desert island with his dog. He has all kinds of adventures and we've used the text to study literature, the sciences and humanities, by working with Karl we've devised a role-playing scenario that we can translate back into the classroom Lisa Mann, (Head of year 6 at Newquay Junior School)

  "The sessions are a whistle-stop ride that would leave Ray Mears panting for breath. First they have to construct a giant SOS sign in the sand, next they're fishing through rock pools looking for crabs and anemones. Fice-Thomson cracks jokes, splashes in the water and keeps up a continued barrage of banter. The kids love it!" Gary King reporting for The Telegraph.

“Freddie and Harry had a great time and haven’t stopped talking about their session with the Rip Curl ESF Surf School! As well as learning about the coastal environment and safety they caught loads of waves and made some new friends. They’ll definitely be back!” Marcus Veale, Shop owner, Newquay

   

“I booked both of our sons into the sessions after hearing so many good things about Karl and the Rip Curl ESF Surf School around Newquay. We live in Newquay so feel that water safety and raising their awareness in this area is crucial. They went along for an afternoon session with Karl and Tom and they had the most amazing time. They had a session based around the rock pools learning about the different wildlife and creatures they could find and how to handle these – such as if you get pinched by a crab how to get it off!! They had a bodyboarding session, pretty adventurous for them but they embraced it whole heartedly but most importantly didn’t stop talking about it afterwards, they have asked to go again during the summer holidays so I will be booking this for them and couldn’t recommend it highly enough, thanks guys!!” Sarah Miller, Parent, Newquay.

Thank you!!
