Year 6 School Journey
Mon 19 May 2025Day 3: Year 6 have been enjoying their final morning at PGL, doing aeroball and tackling the climbing wall. Once again children have been impressing us with their perseverance, commitment and bravery.
We will be heading back after lunch and hope to be back at school for 3:30pm. Keep an eye on the school website for any updates.
Day 2: Year 6 have had a great second day at PGL - we've done buggy building, zip lining, paddle boarding and survival tasks! All of the children have put in a fantastic effort and got involved in all of the activities.
Everyone's feeling pretty worn out and looking forward to dinner!
Day 1: Year 6 have arrived safely and have already shown immense skill during archery and bravery on the giant swing. They are about to sit down to dinner before a game of Cluedo!
