The PGP community was recently invited by Miss Ellie to take part in Rainforest Concern’s active challenge to clock up a total of 8,260km to Manaus, Brazil, without using carbon fuel. Throughout May children, teachers and parents tracked and recorded their distances and we totalled 5,640km as a whole school! Not quite to Manaus but a pretty outstanding effort nonetheless. The finale was a fancy dress day with parrots, jaguars, butterflies and all sorts of other animals from the Amazon rainforest and we raised £288 for Rainforest Concern. Well done to Miss Ellie for organising the event and to everyone for taking part in helping to protect our planet. ![]()

An operatic first at PGP
Posted: 11th February 2020
Last Friday we had an Opera Day, which was a first for PGP. Each year group got to take part in an opera workshop with three of the opera world’s top professionals. They were Aoife O’Sullivan (soprano), Kate Howden (mezzo-soprano) and Mark Austin (pianist/conductor). The children had the opportunity to learn snippets from the classic opera Hansel and Gretel by Engelbert Humperdinck. The event was rounded off by a whole school performance that left teachers and parents amazed at what can be achieved in one day. A magnificent experience and we cannot wait for next time!
