Our First Day at PGL – What an Adventure!
We’ve had a fantastic start to our PGL trip! The children arrived full of excitement, ready for five days of fun, friendship, and adventure. Spirits were high as the coach pulled up at 11am to whisk us away. A big shout-out and heartfelt thanks to Mariam’s brother Safyan (a proud Salisbury ex pupil), Adam’s mum, Ajan’s dad, Hezekiah’s mum, and Mr Akhtar for helping us load up the coach with our rather hefty luggage – we couldn’t have done it without you!
We hit the road around 11:30am and, despite a bit of traffic, made it safely to PGL Swindon by about 2:30pm.
The children were buzzing with excitement as we were shown to our rooms-lots of chatter about bunk beds and who’s sleeping where! Without wasting a moment, we dropped off our bags and headed straight out for our very first activity. It was the perfect way to shake off the journey and get into the PGL spirit. Afterward, there was time to relax and play outside, soaking up the lovely early evening sunshine.
Dinner was a hit-with a choice of chicken in a tomato pepper sauce, fish fingers, or vegetable chowmein, plus plenty of veggies and salad, there was something for everyone. Refuelled and re-energised, we ended the day with our evening activities– lots of laughter and teamwork all round. It’s been a busy, brilliant first day.
The children are tired (so are we!), but already excited for what tomorrow will bring. Stay tuned for more updates!
