Here are a few more photos from yesterdays adventures. After a full day of fun, we ended with a cosy campfire where the children sang, danced, and enjoyed toasted marshmallows, a perfect finish to a brilliant day. Keep an eye out for more photos from todays activities!

Day Two at PGL has been absolutely brilliant!

We kicked off with the Crate Challenge, which was all about communication and teamwork as the children tried to build the tallest tower they could… before knocking it down while dangling in a harness! Lots of wobbles, lots of laughter.

Next up was the Giant Swing – always a favourite. The children were amazing, pushing past nerves and facing their fear of heights with real courage and some with very loud screams!

This afternoon was Aeroball, a brilliant mix of trampolining and basketball. The competitive spirit came alive as they bounced, aimed, and worked together to score in the opposite team’s net.

But the highlight of the day was definitely Survivor, where they learned how to build a shelter and start a fire safely in an emergency. They forgot about the cold were completely absorbed and loved every minute.

We are genuinely so proud of them all – they pushed themselves, supported one another, and cheered each other on. They’re tired, happy, and full of stories. Another fantastic day!

No time was wasted today! The moment we arrived, the children launched straight into their first adventures. Trapeze and orienteering. One by One they climbed the pole, took a deep breath, and leapt for the trapeze facing their fears while the rest of the team cheered them on and held the ropes like the supportive legends they are.

Dinner was delicious but the real cherry on top was the final activity: the ambush. Picture a forest full of giggling shadows as the children hiding from torches and plotting against the opposing team with surprisingly impressive teamwork. They absolutely loved every moment and we're only just getting started!

The journey to PGL was grand. There was pure excitement and delicious anticipation of the fun that was waiting for us.

The Herons and Hummingbirds @FP have been hard at work this week, turning our halls into a swirl of music, laughter, and holiday sparkle!

From perfecting dance steps to practising their biggest smiles, these talented performers are getting ready to wow everyone at our upcoming Christmas Show.

If you walk by their classrooms, you might hear jingle bells jingling, tiny feet tapping, and a whole lot of giggles as they rehearse. Their energy is contagious—and their excitement is building every single day!

We can’t wait for families to see the magic they’ve been creating. Get ready… this year’s show is going to be bright, joyful, and absolutely unforgettable! 🎶🌟

Welcome back, Kingfishers @FP! After two weeks off, it’s lovely to see everyone back, refreshed and ready for another exciting half term. We have six busy weeks ahead before the next break, filled with lots of learning — and plenty of festive fun to look forward to!

We’ve been focusing on following our class rules and becoming more independent in our learning. The children are already showing great effort and maturity as they settle back into routines.

In maths, we’re working hard on our times tables. This is such an important skill, and we’d really appreciate your support in practising at home — a few minutes each day can make a big difference!

Our PE lessons have been extra fun as we’ve started cricket with our coach, Dan. The children are learning new techniques and working brilliantly as a team.

In English, we’re continuing to focus on developing our writing, using exciting vocabulary and improving the flow of our sentences. In History, we’re still exploring the fascinating world of the Vikings, while in Geography, we’re learning more about the River Thames and its importance to London.

There’s already a buzz of excitement in the air as we begin to think about all the Christmas activities coming up — it’s sure to be a wonderful end to our term together!

This term in Design & Technology, Hawk Class @FP has been exploring the full design process of pop-up books! Students have been generating and developing ideas using pattern pieces and researching to create innovative, functional, and appealing products for a specific audience. They are learning to select and use the right tools and equipment with confidence, join and combine a variety of materials effectively, and evaluate their products against original design criteria — reflecting on both their own ideas and the feedback of others. The class has shown fantastic creativity and practical skill throughout!

 Mark Making Fun at Oakbridge Nursery! 

This week we’ve been exploring lines and circles using chalk and bubbles! 
The children loved making big, sweeping movements, helping to build their gross motor skills — an important step in the early stages of writing and mark making. 

We’ve had so much fun expressing ourselves through movement and creativity!
