We celebrated Loki’s 1st birthday today!🎈🥳
Since September, Loki has been coming into school everyday, full time, and spending time with the children. He’s been coming into our assemblies, staff meetings, and as he’s grown up with the children, they’ve grown to love him even more every day. Now, they take him out at break time and lunchtimes and walk him around our extensive grounds. The children have learnt how to put Loki’s harness and lead on and how to pop him into his crate when it is time for a sleep.
Loki has been working on his training with the children, practising how to sit, how to lie down and how to leave (he often picks up dropped pencils and rubbers for the children!) and brings them over for us to retrieve.
Most recently, Loki has been attending our Year 6 production rehearsals and he has enjoyed every second of the dance moves and listening to all the beautiful singing.
Here’s to many more wonderful years of celebrating our school wellbeing dog, Loki🐶🥰
Distinctly cooler on the still sunny but blustery south coast, upper body strength and agility was the order of the day as activities on land and water sapped at the energy levels of the Year 5 cohort at PGL yesterday.
All children constructed and tested rafts from barrels, rope and logs before launching them on Lake Barton with most meeting a watery end in the chilly waters.
Towering high above ground level, the Vertical Challenge proved a tough peak to crack, but there was impressive agility on show to overcome sections of ladders, tyres, ropes and nets.
Elsewhere, there was some sharp shooting with rifles, climbing and fencing to complete the day three programme as the intrepid Year 5 boys and girls displayed commendable concentration amid the onslaught.

ASTONISHED looks as the cord was pulled on the Giant swing, competition with bows and arrows, agility put to the test on walls and poles to fine tuning their bush craft skills, day two had it all as the relentless pace continued unabated on the English Riviera.
Bathed in warm sunshine for the most part, Year Five excelled themselves in all aspects as they took up the challenges on offer. The Giant Swing and the Trapeze, where you scale a telegraph pole and leap across a gap onto a rail, were conquered, the Climbing Wall proved challenging but within their grasp and, in the woods, they all succeeded in making fires and building shelters in an action packed day.
Finally, Aeroball, an old staff favourite from years gone by, made its return to finish things off with bounce and balance a plenty, before events were concluded with birthday celebrations for one of the boys and the 'not so' Silent Disco!
