Year 6 have had an amazing first day at PGL, enjoying the Zipwire, Giant Swing & Survivor activities. We thoroughly enjoyed dinner 😋, and ended the day with a competitive game of Capture the Flag. Time for bed now as we have a very early start tomorrow!
Hi Year 6,
Here are the songs that you will sing in your play. There is a copy with vocals (people singing) and without vocals. Listen and sing along to the version with vocals first. Once you are confident, practise using the version without vocals.
Have a lovely weekend!

We have reached the end of the Summer 1 half term!
Our topic this half term was Natural Disasters, where the children have explored a range of natural disasters including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes. They have used map skills and learned lots about the Earth’s structure. Our written tasks have been explanation texts and poems, in which the children have demonstrated a range of new skills.
In Maths, we looked at fractions and began exploring time. Please continue this over half term and encourage children to read the clock daily.
In science, we have studied rocks and soils. We carried out investigations that included classifying and comparing. We looked at fossil formation and the work of Mary Anning.
PE this half term has focussed on Athletics, where the children have built skills in running, jumping and throwing.
Next half term, we will be taking traveling back in time to Ancient Egypt!
Thank you for your continued support and for all the donations towards our Jubilee party. It was enjoyed by all and the generosity was very appreciated.
We look forward to the final half term!
Mrs Campbell-Whitfield and Mr Ward
As both children and adult students learn English, the benefit of ESL is that they can communicate with native-speaking friends and family within the community while reaching out to people who communicate only in English. This can bridge the gap between families and the rest of the world.
Please speak to Kamla if you would like more information on this organisation.
As half term approaches, you will be spending a lot more time sharing meals together as a family. Family mealtime is when everyone at home sits down and enjoys a meal together. This can be at breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. It has been shown that families who eat together are healthier and happier.
Eating together helps build a close relationship with your children. It gives everyone in the family a chance to learn more about each other. Eating together as a family gives the children an opportunity to learn and practice their social skills, table manners, and conversation skills. Your children are more likely to eat a variety of healthy foods if they see you doing it first. Try to include food from each of the five food groups.
These are skills and lessons your children will use for life.
We thought this guide would be useful to encourage positive meal time interactions with one another.
Please speak to Kamla if you would like more information or advice on parenting issues.
