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.

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.

PGL 2017

Last week, 44 of our year 6 children had a brilliant week of outdoor adventure at PGL near Grantham. The staff took nearly 1500 photos and videos during the week. I have picked out the best 407 and made a 20 minute slideshow set to music. I have made sure that every child appears in it on at least 10 occasions! It has taken me about 6 hours to put it together so if you enjoy it, please let me know! The link is below and the site is password protected. Please ask Mr. O'Connell for the password. Once you enter the password, you can also download the slideshow so that you can keep a copy forever. Happy viewing!
