4 Abingdon Prep • January 2026 TRIPS Y8 GEOGRAPHY FIELD TRIP TEAM BUILDING AT PGL Year 5 had a fantastic time at PGL, Liddington early in the term, which offered time for the pupils to get to know each other well. Straight away, they plunged into activities including: climbing, the giant swing, Jacob’s Ladder, raft building, orienteering and archery, supplemented by evening games and campfire. As always, the children were well fed by the PGL canteen and gave a big thumbs up to all meals! They were brilliant at helping each other out with harnesses, cheering everyone on and working on important communication and teamwork skills. YEAR 5 - BCLM We set off for Bath in terrible rain, thanks to Storm Claudia, in mid November. We had plenty of time to look around the Roman Baths, with so much to see and learn amongst the museum displays and buildings. After lunch the pupils were treated to a taught session by volunteers on why the Baths were so important and they were able to handle and examine some artefacts. A very worthwhile trip enjoyed by all. Year 8’s field trip to the Jurassic Coast, Dorset, started at the magnificent rock arch at Durdle Door examining the coastal geomorphology of St Oswald’s Bay before walking over the hillside to Lulworth Cove. We then split in two for a closer look at the unique geology of this UNESCO World Heritage coastline at Stair Hole and the Lulworth Crumple. We finished the day with some well earned fish and chips! Year 5 didn’t let the rain spoil their day at the Black Country Living Museum, supporting their work on the Victorian era. YEAR 7 BATH TRIP
