Battle Abbey School 1912 - 2012 100 Years of Education, 1000 Years of History Roald Dahl Dress Up Day at the Prep School! 4th November 2011
Battle Abbey School 1912 - 2012 100 Years of Education, 1000 Years of History 4th November 2011 Kenya Expedition 2012 Anyone interested in the Kenya Expedition 2012 MUST register with Zofia Malewicz, Head of Sixth Form by Monday 7th November 2011. The expedition will head to the amazing Masai Mara and will be the ‘2012 Migration Expedition to Kenya’. The Battle Abbey Team will carry out a two day project at the Olareolok Primary school. It promises to be an amazing experience. Maria Ward : Friends for a week and friends for life The German Exchange just keeps on getting stronger. This year we doubled the size of the group from Maria Ward Gymnasium, who visited Battle for the week before half-term. Claverham Community College were most welcome new partners in the project, which is now into its fourth highly successful year. The Maria Ward girls, as always, were utterly delightful guests, joining enthusiastically in every facet of school life, from lessons to lunches to round-the-town quizzes to the Harold’s Night disco. Out and about, we had a brilliant day in London visiting Shakespeare’s Globe and Covent Garden, and the girls made excursions to Hastings and Brighton too. And the Re-Enactment (plus a little tea party) made a super conclusion to the week. We are totally committed, at the Abbey, to ripping the languages off the page of the text book and bringing them to life with activities and trips such as the Exchange, as well as our other European trips. The children learn so much - some of it intangible but lasting for years - through visiting Maria Ward and Munich, staying in families, building and strengthening contacts through all those modern media like Skype and Facebook! And what they learn is more important than any coursebook exercise: that we are one common humanity. Languages are a bridge and not a barrier. Special thanks to Mrs Johnson, and to Sarah Noble at Claverham; but above all to our Year 10s and to the Battle Abbey families who were amazing hosts and went far, far beyond the minimum in their kindness and hospitality. Next July in Munich now cannot come soon enough ! YEAR 8 GO WEST... Year 8 spent a packed four days of half-term in the wonderful West Country. Full report to follow next week! Harold’s Night Disco!
