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. ![]()

Running
Our weekly morning Running club starts bright and early among the beautiful open spaces of Hurlingham Park. We apply interval training techniques around a 150-metre circular track on the Astroturf. This varies from short 50-metre sprints to longer distances of up to 600 metres, with a small break in between laps. It is a great way to get the children’s stamina up to the demands of cross-country running. The motivating thing about interval training is there is always a light at the end of the tunnel as the finish line is never far from sight! It is also a real bonding experience for the children, who invariably cheer each other on to the very end.
