Good afternoon from Year 6!

October 24, 2025/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

We’ve had a brilliant morning, Rifle Shooting with great precision and flying high in the Giant Swing!

We’ve had lunch and have just set off. The children are excited to see you all, but are sad to be leaving Marchant’s Hill.

We have made absolutely fantastic memories, have experienced amazing activities and have thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company ~ A truly unforgettable trip!

The coach has departed PGL and the current ETA is 15:40 according to the sat nav.

Good morning from Year 6!

October 24, 2025/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

We all slept well last night, and have enjoyed our breakfast again this morning. We’ve stored our bags and although the bedrooms now need thoroughly hoovering given the biscuits and crisps that have made their way onto the carpet, they’re empty and we’re set for this morning’s activities!

Giant Swing, here we come!

Good evening from Year 6!

October 24, 2025/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

We have had a wonderful day, working well as a team during the Problem Solving activity and we each pushed ourselves on the Climbing Wall, some of us even reaching the very top!

We all showed impressive skills during Archery this afternoon and ended the evening with a round of fun PGL Games.

The children have all managed to pack their bags – prepare yourselves for the mountains of washing!

We’re sorry it’s our last night as we’re so enjoying the experience here, but are excited to brave the Giant Swing tomorrow and have a go at Rifle Shooting before we make our way home.

Good morning from Year 6!

October 23, 2025/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

We had a very settled night and have thoroughly enjoyed breakfast this morning.

We’re now set for a day of adventures! First up is Abseiling and Problem Solving before visiting the PGL shop and refuelling with lunch
ready for this afternoon’s activities, Archery and Climbing.

The children are particularly enjoying the songs and chants the Activity Leaders are teaching them and they can’t wait to share these with you on their return!

Also, due to practically non-existent internet coverage on the PGL site, we have been unable to send any photos through.

We do have plenty of amazing pictures to share with you on our return though.

Thank you for your understanding.

Good evening from Year 6!

October 23, 2025/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

We’ve had another brilliant day, climbing the Jacob’s Ladder and Zip Lining in the woods!

We put our outdoor skills to the test during Survivor and completed a Challenge Course, crawling through tyres, tunnels and army nets. We’re due a visit from the PGL Tooth Fairy tonight, with one of us losing a tooth this evening!

All of the children are missing home, send love to their families and are excited for tomorrow’s adventurous activities!

A Bright Start to Day Two!

October 22, 2025/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

Good morning from Year 6!

We all had a good night’s sleep, having been tired out from yesterday’s fun activities! We’re very much looking forward to Zip Lining today, climbing Jacob’s Ladder, participating in a Challenge Course and putting our outdoor skills to the test during Survivor.

Action-Packed Day for Year 6 at PGL!

October 22, 2025/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

We have had another action-packed day, filled with exciting activities.

We all braved the climb in Trapeze and learned new skills in Fencing.

We excelled working as teams building rafts, ending up soaking wet in the lake! After a quick change, we had great fun playing Laser Tag in the woods.

We’re enjoying the food and the free time in our rooms, and are looking forward to tomorrow’s activities.

Good morning from Year 6!

October 21, 2025/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

We really enjoyed our “Ambush” Activity last night and have had a mainly settled night.

Today’s activities are trapeze, fencing, raft building and laser tag.

Our breakfast this morning has certainly set us up for the day!
