Civil War re-enactment 11 abingdon.org.uk On 14 March, the English Civil War re-enactors returned to Abingdon, demonstrating Civil War military drills, equipment, gunpowder mixing, uniforms and more to 2nd Year History pupils. As ever, it was a fantastic morning and a superb way for the pupils to be fully immersed in the history of the Civil War. The activities fit neatly into our 2nd Year enquiry question for the year 'Who made Britain: rulers, religion or rebels c.1215-1918?'. Mark, one of our pupils, said that 'although we weren't being fired upon by the Roundheads or Cavaliers, it was fantastic to see everything close up'. UK Biology Olympiad Well done to our 14 A Level Biologists who took part in the UK Biology Olympiad - a highly demanding national competition challenging students to solve complex biological challenges. Particular congratulations to Rayn, James and Leo who won Gold, placing them in the top 5% of the country; to Samuel and Louie who received silver; and to Lucas, Yubo and Adrian who won bronze. News Abingdon Second Year French students have been learning how to talk about their holidays. They have created some very entertaining and original 'bandes dessinées' (comic strips) describing a disastrous holiday. We, of course, hope that the inspiration for these was taken from their brilliant imaginations and not reflective of any real life experiences! Comic strips
