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.

PGP's Number Day was a brilliant celebration of all things mathematical across the school. It was a fantastic day filled with energy, teamwork and curiosity. In Pre-Prep children took part in fun classroom shape hunts and learnt catchy songs to help remember key mathematical concepts. They enjoyed a range of games that tested their knowledge of addition, times tables, odd and even numbers and comparing quantities using more or less than.
Over in Prep, pupils rose to the challenge of solving mysterious clues in exciting escape room-style activities, working collaboratively to crack problems using their reasoning skills. Some also took part in a fast-paced quiz inspired by Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, putting their maths knowledge to the test. The enthusiasm for maths was clear to see, with brilliant number-themed costumes, colourful outfits and smiles all round. A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day so enjoyable!
