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. ![]()

Book Detectives
In Book Detectives, the children work as part of a ‘book group’. Each group is set a section of a book. They can also complete an individual role all about the week’s reading, such as Discussion Director or Vocabulary Picker. These roles shape the discussion of the club, leading to in-depth analysis of reading. It is a great way to take reading comprehension further, with the children really ‘digging around’ in the meaning of texts and the intentions of authors. So if your child loves reading and likes to talk about what they have read, Book Detectives is the club for them!
