Year 6 Trip to PGL Liddington!!!

Year 6's trip to PGL Liddington is coming up in the second week of TERM 2 and everyone is excited already. Before becoming an entertainment site for children, PGL was a conference house for the council but before THAT it was a four star hotel so we're hopefully staying in luxury accommodation! The rooms have either three bunk beds or two and each bedroom has an ensuite with a shower. Downstairs there is a massive dining room for all the visiting schools to dine in. If there is nothing you like on their indulgent menu there is always bread and salad. If your child is going to Liddington then a letter has come home with all the details such as, kit, bedtime and pocketmoney.

Some lucky children from year 5 got to go to DGS for a competition called Euro Fest. These children had to perform a particular script in French, in front of all of the girls in DGS and various other schools.

At last Yr 6's S.A.Ts are finally over after a week of torturing tests! Only joking!
The week started off with a reading comprehension where you could be granted up to 50 marks, the day after the worst day approached... a whole day of literacy tests! Luckily the Yr 6's were geared up with revision crammed in their heads and successfully sailed through without any major problems. Finally over the last two days the Year 6's managed to complete a mental maths test and two similar longer maths tests.
Kindly the Year 6's were treated to the cinema as well as Dominoes and Subway (who generously gave us the food for free) which was a well desevered treat!
