Year 4 had an amazing school trip to the Natural History Museum. When we arrived, we went to the ‘Emergency! Earthquakes and volcanoes’ workshop. The scientists had gone missing so Year 4 heroically stepped in to save Volcano Town from certain doom. However, we also wrecked part of it to see how a seismometer works. Destruction in the name of science! We also experienced an earthquake, rode an escalator through the centre of the Earth, learned even more about the different types of volcanoes and actively learned using as many of the interactive displays as possible. ![]()

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!
