Yesterday, I went out with Brian Kidd (ex-Head of Portsmouth Council Parks and Gardens) to judge PGS in Bloom. As you will have seen around the school, there were many splendid entries. The theme this year was “My PGS”, i.e. where each group felt it fitted in to our school.

 

The results were as follows:

Departments

 

1^st Prize: Phys Chem

2^nd Prize: English

Highly commended: Physics, Learning Support, Economics and Business, Geography, Design Tech

Commended: SMT, Biology, PE

The flowers in the Phys Chem display were picked to match the flame test colours

The English department display focussed on Flowers from Shakespeare

 

Other Groups

 

1^st Prize: Admin

2^nd Prize: Photography

The Admin planters were painted to match school uniform colours and contained objects relating to the roles performed by the team.

The photography display hung from a photographic tripod

 

Junior School/ Nursery

1^st Prize: Junior School

2^nd Prize: Nursery

The Junior School planters spelled out PGJS and were designed and planted by the Junior school Gardening Club

The Nursery school had spelled out My PGS using computer cables and had planted up the letters, as well as making a seaside garden
