A visit to Narnia 3 abingdon.org.uk Many congratulations to this year’s Young Enterprise team. Based on their product range of chopping boards, coffee coasters, dog pulls and passive amplifiers, which they made using a variety of upcycled materials, they won the sustainable product - best presentation award at the area final in April. They progressed to the regional final on 15 May where they narrowly missed out on the innovation and technology award. Well done to all involved. Sustainability sells! Fantastic France In the first week of the Easter holiday, 33 Fourth Year students from Abingdon and St Helen and St Katharine travelled to Lyon for a language and culture trip. The students spent each morning in language lessons tailored to the GCSE course and afternoons were dedicated to exploring the city, including the Groupama football stadium, the Roman and Renaissance architectural sites of the old town, and the Institut Lumière, the birthplace of cinema. Students particularly found their experience living with host families invaluable for their spoken French. A la prochaine! First and Second Years performed The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe for two nights in the Amey theatre this term. The audience joined siblings Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter on their extraordinary journey through the magical land of Narnia - a kingdom locked in an eternal winter by the malevolent White Witch. The cast and technical crew put in an extraordinary amount of effort to bring this impressive production together.
