September 2025 Abingdon Prep Our Year 7 and 8 pupils delivered a vibrant performance of The Lion King Junior on the Amey theatre stage in June. Showcasing some fantastic singing and acting, they successfully brought this well-known story to life with energy and aplomb. It certainly was a ‘roaring’ success. The Lion King Junior A power house of poetry Pupils from Years 3 to 6 showcased an exceptional level of talent and a diverse range of performances in this year’s poetry recital competition. Demonstrating remarkable skill, a testament to their hard work and dedication, pupils also gained invaluable experience honing essential public speaking and performance skills. A particularly memorable moment was a poem recited in Mandarin, a reminder of poetry's universal appeal. It was a difficult task for guest adjudicator, Mr Coolin, to select the winners. 22 Hands up! Pupils in Years 1 and 3 enjoyed a fantastic educational experience with PCSO Susan Haynes in May. Activities with Year 1 focused on understanding the role of a police officer and thinking about helping others. In Year 3, pupils discussed kindness and how to respond to unkind behaviour by exploring their similarities and differences using Venn diagrams. This was a particularly useful exercise for appreciating diversity, understanding individuality, and helping to build social awareness and resilience. It was a very informative and engaging morning for the children. Pupils in Years 7 and 8 applied a variety of methods to their skateboard designs at a workshop in June. Themes ranged from cartoon characters, to howling wolves, and even Hokusai great wave made an appearance.
