abingdon.org.uk/prep 5 TRIPS Year 8 visited Oxford University’s Natural History Museum, where they took part in a workshop on Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection. They all pretended to be barnacles, they discovered whether they were ‘supertasters’ or not, and those brave enough could handle the Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches. After the workshop they toured the museum and its ever-popular shop! The pupils in Year 4 had a wonderful time visiting Christ Church in Abingdon. The children learned about the various functions of the Christian Church and the services that they provide. They learned about baptism and communion and developed a greater understanding of the Christian faith as a whole. YEAR 4 VISIT CHRIST CHURCH YEAR 8 VISIT THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, OXFORD YEAR 4 HABITAT SAFARI Year 4 visited the Environmental Education Centre at Sutton Courtenay for a day of exploring different habitats. They scoured the woodland for creepy crawlies, sampled a stream for freshwater invertebrates and fish! Finally, they became Nature Detectives identifying a range of mammalian bones and tracks. SNOZONE TRIP YEARS 3-5 PANTO TRIP Despite some technical hitches, Years 3 to 5 all enjoyed Dick Whittington at the Playhouse, Oxford, especially when Kirsty was dragged on stage! A group of 17 pupils from Years 4 to 8 enjoyed a fantastic afternoon at the Milton Keynes SnoZone. Split into two groups, novices and intermediate/ advanced, they received great tuition from the SnoZone staff, and it wasn’t long before they were whizzing down the slopes. Huge fun was had by all, and we look forward to booking another trip there soon!
