The Isle of Wight trip departed at 10am today. All 152 students and staff are looking forward to a great time at PGL Little Canada. We'll send regular updates throughout the trip.

Arrived at Southampton. Students were excited when they saw this vessel!

On board the Red Funnel to East Cowes

Arriving in East Cowes

Arrived at Little Canada safely. All checked in and now being shown around the site. Pictures will be added as soon as we have a chance. Everyone is happy to be here😃

After a reasonably quiet night we’ve all had breakfast and morning activities have begun. This is group 9 who are the first group to be climbing

Climbing!

Current quickest time up the climbing wall - well done Honey!

We’ve got a really long list of students without consent to publish photos. This limits what we can post so most pictures will not be of individuals and therefore most pictures will be from behind or taken further away.

Here are a few pictures of todays activities on day 2

And some more!

There’s a few more to come yet!

Day 3 is another wonderful sunny day on the Isle of Wight. Another round of activities including beach games.

Buggy building and problem solving provided time for team building skills

All the students are having a great time whether sitting in the shade or learning camp craft skills

Afternoon activities have just started. We’ve changed the programme to give more opportunities for climbing and to spend some time playing beach games tonight.

We’ve added Vertical Challenge to the programme which the first group have really enjoyed.

Tuesday night beach party! Paddling, music and a beautiful sunset.

We’ve left Little Canada, crossed the Solent and are back on board our coach heading for home. Hoping to be back around 8pm.

One of the nicest things about being away is that there has not been one mention of missing mobile phones whilst away. Lots of chat, singing and games. Most popular song pictured. Everyone has had a great time.
