14 Abingdon Prep • September 2024 PRE-PREP RNLI VISIT Reception rounded off their topic on water safety with a visit from Gareth, a volunteer with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). The children were very quick to remember their flags. We all know how to stay safe around lakes, rivers, canals and the sea over the summer. BIKE DAY After a safety talk and cycle helmet check, Reception and Year 1 children were off on their bikes and scooters, honing their control skills around a course of cones requiring focus, agility and balance! POETRY IN THE WOODS In their English lesson today Year 2 began a new topic on Poetry. We learned all about syllables and the importance of choosing the best words in preparation for writing haikus next week. We went outside to get some inspiration for our poems and used our senses to help us think of lots of really exciting words we could use in our haikus. BUZZING PRE-PREP It was a hive of activity in Year 1 and Year 2 as we welcomed David from Busby’s Bees. He kindly brought in one of his display hives, allowing the children to see the bees at work. David, brimming with knowledge, talked to the children about the different types of bees in the UK, the threats to the bee population, how to stay safe around bees, and many other fascinating facts! DRAMA WORKSHOP Pre-Prep had a magical time at a drama workshop. Set in a fairy woodland, the children embarked on a quest to retrieve the magic book from the red witch. With determination and teamwork, they successfully accomplished their mission! It was a delightful session enjoyed by all
