Rest Period at Fyfield Residential Open Air School, Essex (1935): A Moment of Tranquility Amidst the Rustic Charm of Outdoor Education This evocative photograph captures a tranquil moment at Fyfield Residential Open Air School in Essex during the 1930s. The image showcases a group of children, both boys and girls, taking a well-deserved rest during their day at the open-air institution. The mixed-gender group lies on the grass, some propped up on their elbows, others fully reclined, with their eyes closed in peaceful slumber. The serene scene is overseen by a compassionate nurse, dressed in a practical uniform, who keeps a watchful eye over the children. The presence of the nurse underscores the nurturing and caring environment that characterized open-air schools during this era. Fyfield Residential Open Air School was established to provide education to children who were unable to attend traditional schools due to health issues. The outdoor setting, with its fresh air, sunshine, and open spaces, was believed to promote better health and wellbeing for these pupils. The photograph exudes the rustic charm of the 1930s, with the children dressed in simple, practical clothing and the natural surroundings providing a picturesque backdrop. The scene is a poignant reminder of the importance of rest and relaxation, even during the most formative years of one's life.
