Form One had a damp but very interesting and fact-finding morning at the Oxford Botanic Gardens on Friday.

The Sponsored Walk for the Abingdon Riding for the Disabled has been a spectacular success. With Gift Aid, £12,344 has been raised!

We had great fun when Abingdon Prep Year 1 and 2 came to join our games afternoon. They played football, tennis, athletic circuits, Whacky Races and cricket culminating in lots of juice and biscuits following an energetic afternoon.

On Wednesday 30th April Year Three visited Dorchester upon Thames, the focus of Geography lessons this term.

On Friday 25th April, Form 4 visited Sulgrave manor in Northamptonshire.

Well done to all Year 4 girls who danced beautifully on May morning. It was lovely to see the new May Pole in action.

On Saturday 29th March, 24 children, parents and staff set off for Meiringen in Switzerland.  We had just a few problems flying out of Heathrow’s Terminal 5 but we did eventually get to our resort although somewhat later than planned!  We then spent a week in Meiringen, not only skiing on fantastic snow, but also swimming, painting cows, visiting a meringue factory, oh, and of course, eating a few meringues on the way!  We all had an amazing time.  It was great fun joining the girls in the ski school lessons, and especially funny when we fell over in the deep snow.  I don’t think the girls will ever forget their time throwing snowballs at Mrs Walker then covering her completely in snow!

The Year One play was a real “who dunnit”.  Hector Protector quizzed all the suspects but still could not solve the question: Who Stole The Tarts?  Beautifully costumed Jacks told their stories, bees made honey for the Queen of Hearts — even the Spice Girls made a spectacular come-back!.  The story, written by Mrs Wylie with music by Mrs Berrett, kept us guessing to the very end when it was discovered that the jackdaws had jam on their noses!  They redeemed themselves by presenting the Queen with flapjacks!  It was such a fun-filled, joyous performance.  Well done Year One!
