Battling winds and rain, Year 6 boarded “dragon boats” this morning to find out which team could work together and beat the other boats in a race. The staff at PGL keep a close eye on the weather and due to the wind, the jetty manager decided to keep the boats tethered to the jetty. You can see in the video

that this did not take anything away from the experience of working together in a team and seeing what happens when we do. Later in the day the children took part in a sensory walk (walking blindfolded and guiding each other), aeroball, the giant swing and more besides.
Enough of my summary, however. Let me leave you with a few quotes from the children themselves.
Ondine: “We don’t play together at school but we worked together really well on the sensory trail.”
Leyla: “Food is much better than school food.”
Jack M: “I think it’s great because we get to know each other more.”
Skylah: “Even if people do miss their parents, you do so many activities it distracts you.”
Ollie: “I liked the sensory trail. It was actually quite fun good doing teamwork.”
