Day 3 at PGL – Rain, Rafts & Resilience!
Hello again from PGL! Day 3 has been all about embracing the great outdoors – rain or shine – and showing just how resilient and positive this group of children can be!
After a well-earned good night’s sleep (thanks to yesterday’s busy schedule!), the children were up and ready for more adventures. Breakfast set us up nicely, and then we headed out into the drizzle for the morning’s activities. Despite the damp weather, spirits were high as the groups took on the giant swing (a big hit!), sensory trail, and orienteering.
Lots of laughter, teamwork and bravery on display! Lunchtime brought a delicious warm-up with pasta and Bolognese or a tasty vegetable ratatouille, before we got ready for the afternoon’s adventures.
Unfortunately, some thunder and lightning meant our early afternoon activities had to be cancelled for safety- but the children took it all in their stride.
We headed back to our rooms, and they happily filled the time chatting, relaxing and playing games together while we waited for the storm to pass.
Thankfully, the sun made a brief return – just in time for one of the most
eagerly awaited activities: raft building! Although the weather didn’t stay kind for long, and we had to cut things short, the children still had a brilliant time getting stuck in (and wet!).
After dinner, we finished the day with a fun round of outdoor Cluedo before heading back to our rooms for some well-deserved rest. Fingers crossed for sunnier skies tomorrow – but whatever the weather, we know it’ll be another great day!
