An exciting first day full of coaches, tours and team games! A wonderful start to PGL 2020 and all the children really getting into the spirit of the week.

We started off by posing in our Leavers’ Hoodies (some natural posers there it must be said…) and then moved on to some problem solving activities at school (including Mr George’s personal favourite – the Leaning Tower of Hippos). By the time 1.30pm came around, we were ready and raring to go – I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a group of Y6s so organised getting onto the coach!

On arrival at PGL, we met our instructor Kenny who gave us a guided tour of the site, which included all the usual sights and activities, along with some new songs to sing. We got settled into our rooms and then headed down for dinner – lots of options were available. I went for a superb sausage casserole, but I’m informed that the vegan ragu, plum chicken were pretty fantastic as well (as was the leftover pizza from lunch…).

This evening, we have played ‘Wacky Races’ which included some amazing impressions of animals (I was shouted down for confusing a sidewinder snake with a rolling worm, which apparently isn’t a real thing). We then had our first set of values nominations and have now gone to settle down in our rooms, ready to sleep (fingers crossed!).

Only a few select photo highlights for today – lots more to come in the rest of the week! We’ll keep you updated (when the wi-fi’s working!).
