Abingdonian 2018

5 www.abingdon.org.uk Michaelmas Term I’ve really enjoyed my first week, all the teachers are really nice, the food is much better than my former school’s food and the variety of clubs give me so many different opportunities. I have loved the science and shooting clubs in particular and I think I’m making some new friends! Overall, I would say that my first week has gone amazingly. Edward Hodges, 1MWL I have really enjoyed Abingdon thus far, there are so many fun other half activities that the school has to offer and it has been really tough choosing from them. The lessons have been consistently fun and exciting. There are so many activities in sports and I loved my PE lessons in particular. I am really looking forward to doing drama in the amazing Amey Theatre as well as DT as I can test out all the new equipment. I am really excited to be going to such an amazing school and it is a big difference to going to a my previous and comparatively much smaller school. Toby Lee, 1MWL My first week has been full of great opportunities and stacks of fun. I have enjoyed the other half activities most of all, I do lots of sport in and out of school and it is one of the reasons I came to Abingdon. I love the atmosphere of pupils running to classes and the bell ringing two feet away from you in the lunch queue. Altogether it has been an amazing (and tiring) first week. Fergus Chettleburgh, 1MWL I have had brilliant first week at Abingdon. I love all the options which are offered to me. I enjoyed all the lessons which I haven’t done before, also I enjoyed how the teachers push you, but are always there to help. I found it weird when I went on the bus on the first day, but I got used to it. Tom Woodrow, 1SW Abingdon School has been a whole new experience for me because normally at my old school we would have stayed in the same classroom all day; whereas, in Abingdon you are in a different classroom for each lesson. I found my first week at my new school very enjoyable even though it is a lot bigger compared to my primary school and it is easy to get lost which happened to me last week three times. I now feel quite confident because I’ve learnt the locations and the timings of my lessons now. I’m enjoying lessons here at Abingdon and all my teachers are really encouraging and if you do not feel so confident they will always be there for you. Can Tugcetin, 1AJ
