It has been a busy week for the students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and in our Outdoor Education Programme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Inclement weather hasn\u2019t stopped Abbey students from taking part in a host of activities. Upper IV and Lower IV enjoyed paddle boarding at Dinton Pastures and on The Thames despite the chilly conditions,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Congratulations to Lower VI walkers for completing their Silver DofE expedition – now it is time to finish off their full Silver Awards. Part of their expedition was enjoying the North Wessex Downs.<\/p>\n

Lower VI Gold canoeists improved their skills and technique on The Thames as well this week, canoeing from Abingdon to Reading, during their Practice Expedition.<\/p>\n

Even a windy day didn\u2019t deter Lower IV watersports – using rafted canoes was the only way to make progress down the Thames. Well done to all involved.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Further congratulations go to Charlotte Smith who has recently achieved her Gold DofE Award.<\/p>\n
