Our woodworkers have had great fun in the workshop this year, learning how to saw wood safely, use the hot glue guns and create amazing things with their own hands.
The Year 6’s built bridges, testing things out with paper first and then cutting and gluing wood to make some incredibly strong structures! The Year 5’s got creative, finding natural items from around the school grounds to fill and decorate their Shekere musical instruments.
We are looking forward to creating even more exciting DIY projects before the year ends!🪵🔨
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.
