April 2024 Abingdon Prep Year 5 have been enjoying their regular Forest School sessions, working hard to light their own 'fairy fires' using a flint and steel in sub-zero temperatures. All of the pupils listened carefully to the rules and showed an impressive level of resilience as they kept trying until the sparks caught the cotton wool and they made fire. Forest School Goals galore The football club has had a tremendously successful season with the U13 and U11 teams going unbeaten throughout the season. The U12s went one better than this, keeping a clean sheet for the entire season, scoring 75 goals and conceding 0. Within the Foundation, our U13 team played against the Senior school U13 team in what is always a hotly contested and competitive match. After two halves of end-to-end action and multiple rattles of the crossbar, the final score was 2-2 with the AS team equalising in the final minute. 26 Safety is a priority Years 3 and 4 had a very memorable day at Hazard Alley in January. This interactive, immersive, and memorable safety education experience teaches children about how to stay safe, understand risks and avoid accidents. The children learned about keeping safe at home, on the roads, near water, by railways and online. They also had the chance to practise making a call to the emergency services. It was a hugely important day for our pupils and lots of fun too.
