abingdon.org.uk/prep 15 PRE-PREP The Pre-Prep nativity play never disappoints. The children presented their dress rehearsal of ‘A King is Born’ to an appreciative pupil audience before the main event of performing for their parents and the wider school community the day after. The children put in a stellar performance singing their hearts out in all the songs with actions, adopting the traditional roles including sheep, star, shepherds, Kings, Mary and Joseph and, of course, the donkey, with great aplomb (and were divinely sweet to boot!). A KING IS BORN In October, our Pre-Prep classes learned about the meaning of the Hindu and Sikh Festival of Lights as we celebrated Diwali. Special visitor, Rupal, came into School to share the experiences of her own family with the children. The pupils made their own Diva lamps, adorned traditional dress and tasted a variety of festival foods. They also learned to sing ‘Head, shoulders, knees and toes’ in Punjabi and how to wish people a ‘Happy New Year’! DIWALI - HOW LONG IS A SARI? Pre-Prep were rewarded for their hard work and fabulous performance in the Nativity by a visit to Roves Farm. A whole selection of Christmas activities awaited the children, from crafting and preparing reindeer food (biodegradable) to gently handling guinea pigs and rabbits, feeding goats and exploring exciting new play areas. Obviously, the best part of the day was exploring the magical tunnels that took us to Santa! Luckily the children had all been very good and so could enter the Elves’ workshop to choose a gift! A big thank you to the JPA for their kind donation towards the cost of paying for the entrance fees! A VISIT TO SANTA AT ROVES FARM CHRISTMAS STORYTIME IN THE LIBRARY
