4 Abingdon Prep • September 2024 Year 6 enjoyed three days away at a wilderness residential run by The Bushcraft Company. From creating their first campfires and cooking their own burgers, to camouflage, concealment and games in the woods, the experience proved to be both stimulating and enjoyable. With the option of creating and sleeping in a den overnight, many took the opportunity to take on the elements and spent time with friends under the cover of tarp and in the company of all that lived under the forest’s canopy. TRIPS YEAR 6 BUSHCRAFT ANCIENT EGYPT AND WWII YEAR 5 VISIT NELSON’S FLAGSHIP Year 5 pupils had a fantastic time bringing their learning to life today aboard the HMS Victory. Before the trip, each pupil was assigned the name and rank of a real life crewman aboard the ship during the Battle of Trafalgar. They independently researched their crewman’s life - from powder monkeys, to able seaman, all the way up to the Vice-Admiral himself! The pupils stunned the volunteers aboard with all their thoughtful questions and background knowledge and behaved impeccably. A real highlight of Year 5. Year 3 had two historical trips this term. At NT Coleshill, their mission was to learn about the world of Secrets and Spies during World War Two. Later in the term came their visit to the Ashmolean Museum to learn about life in Ancient Egypt.
