Year 6 shine at PGL

This week our Year 6 children demonstrated all the values of a Blackhorse Champion during their residential at PGL Liddington.  Since arriving on Monday and throwing themselves into the first challenge, they have worked well as a group and tackled everything put in front of them.

They have demonstrated great bravery throughout the week as they climbed various challenges, zipped and abseiled from towers, and tested their resolve by leaping for a trapeze suspended high above the floor.

It has been fantastic to see the teamwork and camaraderie they have developed when facing challenges. Even the room inspection had them begging the staff to borrow the vacuum to make their rooms hit the grade. 

When not going up or coming down, they have taken to the water in canoes (and even into the water in some cases), taken part in a giant game of archery tag and discovered orienteering skills they didn't know they had.  Ethan and Mr Maxted even managed to complete the course, a feat Mr Maxted is very proud of.

They have shown great independence throughout the week and we are very proud of them all.  

This would not have been possible without the energy, care and dedication the staff have put in for the five days.  We would like to thank Meg Mellish, Ben Maxted, Charlie Fido, Olivia Finn and Michelle Melton for providing such a fabulous experience for the children creating memories that will last a lifetime.
