16 September 2018 Abingdon Prep Pre-Prep Pre-prep Sports Day Cotswold Wildlife Park Reception and Year 1 had a fabulous trip to Cotswold Wildlife Park, where the boys had an amazing day filled with fun and new experiences. There were new babies to be seen around the zoo and many of the animals were alert and active. ​ However the baby rhino lazed in the sun and a little further on there was much excitement as the lion cubs lay in the shade watching their mother prowling the fence. What, with a picnic lunch, a ride on the train and an ice-cream, we certainly had a hot, busy and exciting time! Linda Gaskell The weather was perfect for our Pre-Prep sports day and a gentle breeze kept the young athletes cool as they took part in a range of activities from sack racing and target throwing to relay races and hurdles. All of the Year 1 and Reception children took part in team activities, working around the events and trying to accomplish new personal bests! Year 2 took part in some activities on a slightly more competitive level and then everyone joined together for the traditional house relay race. As ever it was a very close competition, with Unicorn coming in just ahead of Dragon with a few seconds to spare. The boys were rewarded with a delicious ice-lolly supplied by the JPA, before making their way home for a well earned rest! Bike Day Reception and Year 1 brought their bikes into school. Following a safety session and a helmet check to ensure they fitted, we were off!
