PGL - November 2025
PGL Day 5
This morning we woke up with many jobs to complete - clear beds, close bags, empty bins and then BREAKFAST! All groups had their final activities including abseiling, fencing, trapeze and problem solving. We then had lunch before loading our bags on the coach and making our departure. We have all thoroughly enjoyed our week at PGL - we have developed our teamwork skills, independence and resilience.
PGL Day 4
Our final full day at PGL! We have had an action packed day - it started with breakfast like always! Today we participated in lots of activities such as problem solving, aeroball, challenge course, Jacob's ladder, fencing, rifle shooting, zip wire and orienteering. Everyone has challenged themselves today to climb higher than they have before and try new things. It's been another warm and dry day - we have been very lucky with the weather! Before dinner, we visited the shop and got to spend our money. After our final dinner, we are heading off for our camp fire and to eat some of our goodies. We have had a fantastic time and can't wait to tell you all about it when we are home.
Here is a short video of yesterday's disco. The children had a great time taking part in lots of dancing and singing or having some quiet time with their friends.

PGL Day 2
After some sleep, we started the day with with a cooked breakfast or cereal and then went off to our activities below which included (depending on their group) Climbing, Survivor, Archery, Coastal walk and Buggy Building. We have had good weather today and all the children enjoyed being outside. We are looking forward to dinner which includes a variety of options! Tonight we will be playing a game of Ambush.
We have also upload the pictures of the dorms (some are tidier than others).
PGL Day 1
We arrived at Bawdsey Manor in good time and had a spot of lunch before we began our afternoon activities. These included: Giant Swing, Challenge Course, Survivor and Zip Wire.
We then had a bit of time to warm up and dry off before we went for a tour of the grounds and our first dinner. This evening, our activity is 'Balloon Splash' which is were the children have to complete challenges to earn items to prevent their water balloon from bursting.
After our evening activity, we will settle into our rooms to enjoy our first night at PGL. Dorm room photos to follow!
Goodnight everyone!
