8 Abingdon Prep • April 2026 ENGLISH AND DRAMA There was a real ‘buzz’ around the school as Years 3 and 4 prepared for their performance of ‘The Bee Musical’, a story to highlight the importance of Bees to our environment. The children all performed brilliantly to the school and to their parents, with some exceptional singing and acting. SONNET RECITAL FINAL This year’s senior section sonnet recital maintained the high standards of previous editions. All the participants performed with credit, including two Year 6 pupils, Arran and Timothy, who represented their year group for the first time. The overall event was won by Alex, in Year 8, with Clarence from Year 7 and Tristan from Year 8 gaining special mentions from Chloe, our guest judge from the senior school. However, everyone taking part made it into a truly collective occasion worthy of the continuing appeal of Shakespeare’s illuminating poetry.
