Year 5 PGL Trip – Day 2

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we returned to our activities, starting with Sensory Trails. The children worked in pairs to develop their communication and listening skills by giving instructions to their blindfolded partners. It was a fantastic display of teamwork! 1/3 Children had exciting time today taking part in raft building and testing their creations on the water. They also tackled the “All Aboard” challenge and bravely climbed the tall tower. Throughout the activities, children developed teamwork, communication, resilience, and problem-solving skills—all while having fun and building confidence. 2/3 After a busy day, everyone gathered around the campfire as children laughed and shared songs in a warm, relaxed atmosphere. We are looking ahead to some more activities in the morning before…
