Year 3
Off the starting blocks
Residential Trip to PGL Marchant’s Hill
I woke up, bursting with excitement
to go to PGL. I jumped out of bed
and yelled out ‘yippee!’ My mother,
seeing that I was awake, told me to
get dressed and I sprang into
action, clothes flying everywhere.
My sister, hearing all the noise,
looked up sleepily.
‘I’m dressed!’- I called out to her in
a cheeky voice.
I ran in and shook my father awake.
‘It’s PGL!’- I shouted. I ran
downstairs to greet my dog
who woofed happily.
I ate my breakfast as quick
as a rocket and zoomed to
get my shoes on. When my
mum and I
turned to
go out, my
dog
looked on
grumpily.

We arrived at PGL and
everybody was buzzing with
excitement. We were told to
get our suitcases and put them
in a shed for safe keeping.
Next, we were introduced to
out instructor called G. After
that, we were put in our room
groups. I was with Clemmie,
Freya, Lexie and Daisy and for
the activity groups - with
Amelia, Clemmie, Marcus,
Freddie, Lexie and Mariette.

There were lots of exciting activities:
the giant swing, the zip wire, rafting,
sensory trail and aeroball. My
favourite activities were aeroball
and the zip wire - they were most
exhilarating and great fun. None of
them made me feel frightened.

The giant swing was massive and
held two people at a time. We were
harnessed in so we knew we weren’t
going to fall off but it was still
terrifying as we
sailed through the
sky at the speed of
light! Daisy J
