Year 5 and 6 Residential to PGL

This was the first trip with PGL which had lots of great activities for us to do. As soon as the children got off the bus they were greeted by Emma our group leader. Once the children dropped their bags off at their room they were whisked off to get ready for raft building where they were tasked in their groups to design a raft and then test it out on the lake, which I am pleased to say that they showed great team work and all of the groups rafts floated with everyone able to take to the water. After all the fun on the lake it was time for dinner and camp fire where they sat around a fire singing songs with all the other schools on site then off to bed.

After breakfast the next morning they were split off into 3 groups where they rotated around activities such as abseiling, aero ball, climbing, trapeze and problem solving. With the day done and all packed for the trip home the children wasted no time in getting a good night’s sleep. The morning of day three was making sure we were all packed and catching up on the activities they didn’t do the day before.DSC02164 DSC02653 DSC02644 DSC02617 DSC02595 DSC02234

All in all the children had a great time and had some experiences that they wouldn’t normally get in the classroom as well as finding things about themselves that they might not have known. We look forward to next years!

Year 1 sports day

Today year 1 took part in the annual school sports day. Luckily the weather stayed nice and dry all day and the children had a great time. The children competed in a number of events including the egg and spoon race, 20m dash, long jump and bean bag throw. They finished off with a well deserved treat of an ice cream. See below for some pictures of the day.
