Warhammer 11 abingdon.org.uk Lower School Warhammer Club pupils have taken part in a miniature painting competition - congratulations to Ben for winning the trophy for his very detailed painting of a Necron warrior. The club now has an extensive range of models which can be used to create battle scenes. Hydroponics comes to Abingdon Students have upcycled guttering and constructed stands in their Product Design lessons to create their own hydroponics system! This eco efficient way of growing plants allows water to be used more sparingly and, because plants are grown vertically, means more can be produced over a small area. Hydroponics is likely to play a significant role in helping to feed the population in the future, especially with increasing demands on the land and the students are really keen to learn more about it.
