What is Safer Travel?

ツ      Today the year sixes had a special Safety Talk about the how to keep yourself safe when on a vehicle. The lady told us the how to keep safe and what not to do when you are on a school bus. There has been many accidents over the years although year there has been no accidents yet. She told us the danger of buses and how to keep safe when; waiting for the bus, when you are on the bus and when getting of the bus. She also told us about bus passes and warnings for misbehaving. The bus pass that you get has a number on the front that is the bus that you have to go to school on. There are 4 main warnings: 

1. First time you misbehave you get 1 warning

2. Second time you misbehave you get a week or 2, banned from the bus

3. Third you get up to 2-a month of being banned from the bus

4. The forth one is up to a school year or for the rest of your school life!!!! ツ

High ropes

High ropes

In high ropes we had to were a harness and a helmet to keep us safe. We went to the top of the high ropes which was about 20 meters high. High ropes was really fun and there were different stages to complete and it went in a circle. When you were up there it looked a long way down. There was also some tyres to climb through or over, there was also a little platform to jump over to get to the next stage. There was also a bridge that looked really wobbly but it wasn't at all. There was also a rope to hold onto when you went across a rope below your feet. 

DS and JW 6JO

Rifle shooting

At PGL our favourite activity was rifle shooting. We enjoyed it because firing the gun was fun when you hit it. To hit the metal, you had to centre the middle bit between the two other little markers. We then had to hit targets on a piece of paper and sink battle ships behind the paper.

Sensory Trail

At PGL we did a thing called the sensory trial, this is where we put black out goggles on . Then we were given a rope and guided into the wood there were different obstacles to go across. We could not see anything an the teachers sprayed water at us. After that there was obstacles we had to dodge so we wouldn't fall over, and it was very weird how we couldn't see were we were going so it was a surprise.  Sometimes we tripped over roots and branches and landed on our knees and hurt them. Though at the end we got to see the trail that we went through and it was very short though when we were blindfolded it was very long.

Trapeze

TRAРEZE
At PGL we did many activities including one of our favourites trapeze. What you had to do in Trapeze is climb a thin pole with some hand holds to grip on to. When reached the top there is a small square platform to pull yourself up. Once pulled up you have to stand on that, then in front of you there is a metal bar you have to catch by jumping to it. But of course there is someone
belaying you just in case you don't grab on to it!

absailing

In abseiling we sailed down a 40foot wooden wall. We were harnessed to a rope that could hold the weight of a baby elephant. We also had to put a helmet on to protect our heads. Once we were at the top of the wall, we had to go through the bars to get to the edge of the wall. When we were ready to go down we leant over the high drop to make an L shape. Then we started to descend. When we were walking down the wall we had to let a black rope slip through our hands. when we got near the bottom they told us to do little jumps.

River Rafting

PGL River Rafting!!

When Year 6 went to PGL they experience exciting activities, however when each group went River Rafting they would come back drenched and here is what happened. 

 So they would put life jackets on and bring a paddle and a rope, at first they world see barrels and planks of wood. Out of that equipment they will make rafts(2) once they have finished making rafts they would see if they float in the water. Whilst on the water they will play a few races to get the places. At the end (before the climb out) they will have to help each other to get off the raft without getting wet. If they succeeded they would play a game (if had any time) the choices of games were more races or fall back into water. All of the groups choose to fall back however some did not, they also videoed you falling in luckily they all had clothes they wanted to get wet.  シ

High Ropes PGL

At PGL we did high ropes and personally it was my favourite  activity. First we put on a harness and a helmet, then we walked over to the abseiling wall also we climbed a spiralling stair case to the top of the wall. suddenly our instructor (Chelsea) strapped us to a railing and told us the safety rule. finally we walked across all the wobbly obstacles.

River Rafting at PGL

At PGL we had lots of fun but my favourite thing was river rafting. We had to build a boat out of plastic barrels, long thin logs and rope. Once we had made the boat we had to put it in the river and we all had to sit on it. We used paddles to make the boat move along the river and after we had a practice at steering the boat we brought the boat back the hill and (if we wanted to) we stood on the very edge of the lake and fell in backwards. The river was very cold and we were all wet and soggy but we had a wonderful time :)

Rock climbing at PGL!

                                                    Rock climbing

At PGL we did rock climbing and was fun as we got to go high up and ring a bell. First we had to walk over and get our harnesses on and get strapped in. After that we had the safety talk of how we couldn't climb if were not harnessed to the wall or we can't belay without permission. Then we got taught how to belay and how you use it. Then we took it in turns to rock climb, belay and watch. Some people didn't do and some people did. I really enjoyed rock climbing and was fun learning how to do all of it!

PGL : Cluedo.

At PGL on Thursday our evening activity was cluedo.

we had to find out who had kidnapped the activity store manager. We had a piece of paper with a list of people who we had to go and question.And then we got given a map and then we went round. When we were going to the different people we were asked to do challenges such as :selling stuff to them catching balls and much more.Once we completed it we found out  if we had got the correct answer  and then we caught the guilty culprit.

DF 6SP.  

At PGL we did a sensory trail where we had goggles on but they were all blacked out we had to rely on the person in front of us and a rope next to us. It was quite hard because if we was walking a stairs that were like 1cm high you would think its 50cm.On the trail we had to go over, under and through objects.

The Football Rice Bowl Team.

The Fleckney Football Team were in a football tournament to represent our School, we played about 5 matches but then sadly lost in the semi-final. But we were not really sad because our goal for the rice bowl was to get through to the semi- final. We all tried our best throughout the tournament we wish we could of gone through to the final but we were too unlucky. We got through to the qualifiers, knockouts, quarter-finals and then the semi-final. We were all happy still that we made it this far and this means that we are one of the top four teams in the county.

Year 3 Candlemas Assembly

We discovered fascinating facts about Candlemas. Each year the assembly's change along with the facts.

* When this festival celebrated it is the second of February which is the feast of Candlemas. In pre-Christian times, it was the festival of light. This ancient festival marks the point in the winter half way between the winter solstice, the shortest day, and the spring equinox, as the strength of the life-giving sun increases as winter gives way to spring.

* As it is a hinge between winter and spring, people believed that Candlemas predicted the weather for the rest of the winter.

* Candlemas is also called the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple; this was when Jesus and Mary went to the temple for the first time since he was born forty days before.

* In many churches it marks the end of Christmastide, when the very last decorations are taken down. In fact if you forget to get rid of your Christmas tree on the fifth of January you are supposed to keep it until today so that Christmas lasts forty nights.

There are many more traditions which relate to Candlemas. There is an old English rhyme.

If Candlemas day be fair and bright
Winter will have another flight;
If Candlemas Day be clouds and rain
Winter be gone and will not come again.
