9 abingdon.org.uk Fourth Year urban fieldwork Earlier in March, more than 120 Fourth Year students took their learning beyond the classroom to complete Geography urban fieldwork in central Oxford. To investigate recent shifts in the city’s urban landscape, students conducted primary research through public interviews and rigorous data collection. By measuring environmental quality, pedestrian footfall, and the Retail Value Index, they gained firsthand insight into the economic and social factors shaping Oxford today. This practical experience is vital for developing their analytical skills. A language treasure hunt On 24 March, our Second Year pupils enjoyed an enriching and engaging trip to London, visiting both the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. The day combined exploration with language learning, as pupils were set the challenge of gathering information about the exhibitions while completing a specially designed booklet. Completing their work in either French or German, they put their language skills into practice in a real-world context. The activity took on the feel of a treasure hunt, as students navigated the museums, searching for key information, and working collaboratively to piece together their findings. I can and I am In March, our First Year pupils enjoyed spending time on the I can and I am double decker bus. They learned how to make pizza and discussed how to keep their balloons of self-belief inflated by focussing on what their strengths are and the things that they enjoy doing.
