What a week!

Year 6, it has been a blast! You have made us all so proud with your enthusiasm, resilience and persistence. But most of all we were so proud of your behaviour. Every single member of PGL staff commented how fantastic you were.

We hope you all have made great memories and thank you for your efforts.

 Please find below the powerpoint from the information evening held at school on 6th April

This week our Y4/5/6 Quad Kids Athletics Team took part in the Hinckley and Bosworth Schools Games Tournament.

Our team competed in the 50m & 75m sprint, standing long jump, howler throw and the 600m run.

The children where a real credit to our school, giving  100% and supporting their team members all the way. It was brilliant to hear them cheering each other on with lots of big smiles and a real sense of achievement.

Schools across Hinckley and Bosworth will all be taking part in the same event at different venues over the next few weeks. We now await the results 

Our Y6 basketball team had an amazing opportunity this week playing in the county finals at the Morning Side Arena, home of the Leicester Riders.

After winning the Hinckley and Bosworth finals we made it into the final top 10 teams in Leicestershire.

The afternoon started with the children having the opportunity to watch the Leicester Riders first team’s training session followed by an afternoon of competition.

The results may have not gone our way but we certainly held our own and played some amazing basketball scoring some fantastic baskets along the way in some very close exciting games.

We cannot say enough how proud we are of the children to make it this far and of how well they played and worked as a team.

After the tournament the children got to spend time with the captain of the Riders team who, at 6ft 11, he certainly made an impression on them, inspiring them to continue on with their sport for years to come!

Well done to everyone involved! We would like to thank everyone that came over to support the team.

A big shout out to all our girls who helped us get involved in the “#LetGirlsPlay Biggest Ever Football Session” on 9^th March! 

As well as attending today’s girls after school football club, we had lots of girls representing us last week in a football match to mark the start of the FA campaign and ambition for girls to have the same football opportunities as boys.

Well done girls - keep up the good work ! 

Well done to our Y4/5/6 football teams who both won 3-0 against teams from Sketchley Hill.

All the children played with real energy and confidence with 6 amazing goals.

We would like to thank everybody that came over to support us!

Please find below a list of activities to complete this week for Reading,Writing, Maths and Connected Learning. Mrs Cox has also provided you with instructions for an educational game, CLICK HERE

All of the documents are read only so you will need to save them on your device to edit them. I would recommend saving them as your name and the curriculum area e.g.

Writing1Your nameandsurname. 

Once you have completed your task,you can then upload it to the Sharepoint folder. Hopefully, there will be no issues as everyone's file will be called a different name and then we will have no issues of children overwriting others work.

Do not worry if you cannot send your work, you can complete it in your pink book that you took home.

Don't forget that you still have Sumdog and Timestable Roackstar to play on-I am keeping an eye on the leader boards to see how you are all getting on.
