6 Abingdon Prep • April 2026 Worldwise Quiz In early March, sixYear 7 pupils joined in with a Geography Quiz hosted by Magdalen College School. Eight different rounds, covered many Geography topics, with quickfire and picture rounds, and some questions giving longer response times. One of the more controversial questions asked whether there were more chickens or rats in the world? Overall it was a very successful outing, with one team winning the ‘more or less round’ and lots of Geography knowledge shared. Paddy, Year 7 TRIPS YEAR 4 VISIT UFTON COURT The Year 4 pupils enjoyed an exciting trip to Ufton Court, where they explored what everyday life was like for the Tudors. They learned about farming methods, Tudor crime and punishment, and swordplay skills! A great day out for all. Year 5 spent a busy day at the Oxford museums, combining history and science workshops. Pupils examined Mayan civilisation first, handling historic artefacts. After lunch, evolution was the theme in the Evolve, Adapt, Survive workshop, with examples including a polar bear paw. A super day of fun learning. YEAR 5 AT THE PITT RIVERS & NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS Hazard Alley Year 3 and 4 pupils swapped the classroom for the immersive streets of Hazard Alley. The trip provided a handson environment for the children to develop their risk assessment skills across various real world scenarios. From spotting fire hazards in a mock living room to navigating online safety and staying alert near roads and railways, the children practised how to stay safe in a controlled, fun setting. It was a day filled with energy, teamwork, and invaluable life lessons that they will remember.
