Breakfast Time!
Everyone is pushing themselves, enjoying the many activities and having fun!
Mrs Powell is so proud of the whole class, trying so many new things, climbing higher than they thought they could and for some amazing teamwork. Click on the photo below to see more pictures!
After the Sensory Trail!
Just conquered the zip line!
More Jacob's Ladder
So much fun and adventure at PGL
Yummy lunch of chicken pie, mash, baked beans, soup, salad, bread and butter ... the list goes on! Group 3 currently on Jacob’s ladder, which groups 1 and 2 tried this morning! Lots of very brave children. Proud! Letters have also been written and posted ( some with rather ‘upside down’ addresses!! Hopefully they’ll find their way back to mums, dads, grandmas and grandads!
First morning's activities have begun!
Mrs Powell’s group about to commence sensory trail. They will be looking rather different in a little while! Other two groups doing fencing and Jacob’s ladder right now.
Great night's sleep and fantastic start to the day ...
Good night’s sleep was had by all ( including Mrs Powell!!). The rain was every residential trip teachers’ best friend last night as everyone was back in their rooms by 9 pm and all in bed by 9-30... possibly a record for a first night. Not a single interruption.
Breakfast - everyone ate lots ( one of the boys had four pieces of toast and two hash browns plus various other ‘things’!)
Lunch at Southsea before catching the ferry
Year 6 have enjoyed a rain free picnic lunch and some play time (rolling down the hill) at Southsea before reboarding their coach to take them to Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Terminal to catch the ferry to the Isle of Wight. Everyone tip top!
We are on our way ...
… and there is free coffee on the coach for Mrs Powell and Mrs Cave!
Year 6 have set off this morning for an amazing week of activities at PGL on the Isle of Wight. Have a great week Badger Class!
Anderson Shelters
Year 6 have been busy in D&T designing and constructing Anderson shelters, as part of their WW2 topic. The class researched Anderson shelters and decided on materials needed to make sturdy and practical models of the shelters.
The class used corrugated card, wooden sticks, paint and lots of masking tape to construct the shelters. In order to test the strength of the shelters, children used books piled on top of the models - they all survived.
The class added their own features, such as the Union Jack flag, picket fences and gardens.
A Glorious Day to be by the Seaside!
Year 6 certainly picked the right day to celebrate their time together at Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School with an action packed day at Littlehampton Beach. After crab fishing, fun on the Harbour Park rides, fish and chips for lunch and crazy golf they finished the day with a play on the beach and an ice cream to cool off!
World War Two talk
Year 6 were lucky enough to spend an afternoon this week hearing from Mr Ray Chase, a West Sussex resident aged 83, who came to tell us about his experiences growing up during the wartime.
We learnt all about Morrison shelters and life growing up during the uncertainty of war. Lots of children asked Ray questions and spent an invaluable, interesting afternoon in his company. We send him our best wishes and hope to invite him back again next year!
In other news, we are continuing with our rehearsals for the summer production - please can everyone keep learning their lines (this is instead of homework at the moment!).
We have our class trip to Littlehampton next week, on Friday 28 June - fingers crossed the rain will have disappeared by then!
