abingdon.org.uk/prep 5 Abingdon Prep Out & About Year 5 boarded the huge coach that would take them to PGL, Liddington. Once there, they had packed lunches in the sunshine. Being shown their dormitories was very exciting, especially deciding who would be on the top bunks! The afternoon activities included archery and a survival course. These were followed by a delicious tea and another game called ‘Passport to the World’. They were exhausted but very exhilarated after their first day. The second day at PGL was just as much fun. Groups played aero ball, canoed, abseiled and went on the giant swing. On the last day Year 5 tried out some more new activities, the challenge course and the zip wire. After lunch it was time to return to school. Year 5 all loved the trip and would recommend it to everyone! Y5 at PGL This term, Year 7 had three trips full of adventure out of doors. First, a residential stay at Whitemead in the Forest of Dean, where zorbing proved popular and team challenges such as raft-building really tested the boys’ mettle. A science field trip at Sutton Courtenay Environment Centre followed to learn about habitats and adaptation. Finally, near the end of term, they played Laser Tag and tackled the high ropes obstacle course near Culham. Year 7 Trips Whitemead Laser Tag Science Field Trip
