abingdon.org.uk/prep 13 PRE-PREP YEAR 1 WENT TO Year 1 and Year 2 now have their Science lessons in our new STEM lab. Year 1 learned about the body, labelling arms, legs and many more parts, and then explored the senses. Year 2 looked at food groups and what we should eat. PRE-PREP SCIENCE RECEPTION’S FIRST DAYS AT SCHOOL Our newest and youngest members of Pre-Prep in Reception got stuck straight into school life from the moment they arrived. Dressing up, building, sticking, drawing and playing, both in the classroom and the outside Early Years Play Area. Year 1 had a fantastic day, taking part in team building challenges including operating land skis and crossing a ‘lava pool’ with planks, crates and tyres. After lunch and time to explore the woods, they learned how to use a flint and steel to light our own mini fires, ending the day toasting marshmallows to make delicious, sticky smores and singing some funny campfire songs. SMILE PLEASE! Rupal, our friendly dentist, came to Reception to share how to keep our smile healthy and sparkling. The children learned all about healthy foods, snacks and how to clean every curve around their teeth. They also found out what happens if you don’t look after them! The children will try very hard to keep them sparkling and clean. Thank you to Rupal! Reception learned about how to keep their bodies healthy and safe. GP, Doctor Selina came in to tell us about her job and how she looks after people, and showed the contents of her doctor’s bag. Doctor Selina also opened the ‘Abingdon Prep Minor Injuries Unit’ and the children learned about admissions, x-rays, bandaging skills and taking care of poorly bears! TEDDY BEAR HOSPITAL
