Skipping into Summer!

Posted: 27th April 2021

Every Prep pupil received an Abbot’s Hill skipping rope.

Pupils spent time in the sunshine practicing and perfecting their skipping, we were so impressed by some of their skills and can’t wait to see how they get on at home! It was an exciting afternoon as Year 8 Photography Club joined them to capture some action shots.

We would love you to share your skipping videos and photos with marketing@abbotshill.herts.sch.uk to be shared on our social channels. Follow our skipping story on our social channels using the hashtag #SkipIntoSummer

This half term in science, Year 2 are learning about the needs of animals for survival. This week, we focused on birds, looking closely at their features and exploring what they need to survive.

After researching British birds, we went on a birdwatching walk around the school. The children carefully observed the birds they spotted and recorded their findings on a birdwatching sheet. We were lucky enough to spot two pheasants and a red kite. These were exciting sightings because neither bird was on our bird list!

During the activity, the children learnt how to gather and record data by completing a birdwatch. They worked carefully as scientists, using their observations to identify and record the different birds around our school. It was a lovely opportunity to take our science learning outdoors and explore the wildlife on our doorstep.

We are always so proud of our students and the dedication, determination and hard work they show. Today we are celebrating Willow and Lucy, who, as part of their dance group, had the amazing opportunity to represent Team England at the Global Dance Competition in San Sebastián, Spain over the holidays.

Competing against incredible dancers from across the world, including competitors in older age brackets, they showed just how much talent, commitment and determination they have. To hold their own on an international stage at such a young age is a fantastic achievement and a real testament to the countless hours of hard work that go into their dancing.

We are thrilled to share their results:
Acro Group, 15 to 17 years: 2nd Place, Silver
Jazz Group, 12 to 14 years: 3rd Place, Bronze
Lyrical Small, 12 to 14 years: 4th Place
Lyrical Group, 15 to 17 years: 7th Place

What makes these achievements even more special is knowing that this is just the beginning. We cannot wait to see how much further they will grow, develop and achieve as they continue their dancing journey.

Willow and Lucy, you should be incredibly proud of yourselves. We are so proud of you both and cannot wait to see what comes next.
