Winter

Welcome to Winter Class!

Winter Class comprises children from Years 5 and 6 - the oldest children in the school.

The children are taught by Mrs Ellis, Mrs Harrison and Mrs Avery-Hall.

The children will be set English and Maths homework each week on a Wednesday. This is due in on the following Monday. Much of the English homework will be related to spelling, grammar and punctuation which will prepare the children for the End of Key Stage assessments.

Thursday: it rained! Despite this the children had great fun on the giant swing but unfortunately the camera couldn't cope. All dried out and had a pasta lunch.

Abseiling. The children discovered the faster (but safe way) down the tower.

We armed your children: rifles this time.

Sadly we're experiencing some wi-fi and technology issues. As a result, we might not be able to provide photographs and videos on a daily basis from PGL.

However, I have been in contact with the group and the staff have texted me the following messages. (R Price)

'We've had a great day!!

It was a pretty good night. There were a few first night nerves but everyone got a good nights sleep. The children were all very excited this morning. Breakfast was amazing - bacon, hash browns, mushrooms, baked beans and multiple rounds of toast. (Disappointingly, my baked beans were touching my bacon but I soldiered on.)

Morning of archery and zip wire and an afternoon of climbing. Most children completed the zip wire, a few got multiple turns.

GR and ER are particularly good at orienteering.

The woods are beautiful at this time of year.

All the children are eating brilliantly with many clean plates - food is the best I've eaten at PGL. Mr Perry does not need his emergency rations.' Mr Dee
