These included kwikcricket, frisbee, spikeball and mollky, a Finnish throwing game. Everyone had a really good time. 9 abingdon.org.uk Sporting fun The Sixth Formers taking part in this year's Moldova Project trip in the summer holiday undertook a sponsored challenge one weekend in May to raise funds for our partner charity Agape. Using equipment in the Sports Centre they travelled a collective distance of 398km, the distance that the River Dniester flows through Moldova. It was a great example of teamwork. Raising funds for Moldova In May, Lower School tutor groups faced each other across the table tennis table and in water polo for some sporty inter-tutor group competition. 1V won both pursuits, with 2M and 2P overall winners for water polo and table tennis respectively. News Abingdon A big hit with boarders A group of eighteen boarders spent an exciting day at the Oxfordshire Shooting School to take part in a number of activities, including archery, air rifle shooting and clay shooting. One highlight was the chance to shoot a 19th century muzzle loading hammer gun, giving a glimpse into historical firearms. The students enjoyed the hands-on experience and the chance to learn new skills in a safe and controlled environment. To give an element of friendly competition, the scores over the day were added up with Clement emerging the winner. He was presented with a commemorative hat, marking his achievement.
