  • Les Miserables
    April 2015 | No. 38 AbingdonNews LES MISERABLES .... The whole cast was incredible; and the crew, “ from lighting to stage direction. You would never have known it was a school production. ” Many congratulations to everyone, what talent. “ (tweeted by Christopher Biggins) ” Wow, wow and wow again! “ I can’t do it justice with words. Staggeringly” brilliant. “ ” www.abingdon.org.uk Abingdon News Art adorns Science A stunning artwork standing 10m tall and spanning the three floors of the new Science Centre, due to open in the autumn, has been commissioned from sculptor Matthew Lane Sanderson. The sculpture, made possible by a donation from Old Abingdonian, Martin Iredale and family, will rise through the stairwell depicting Biology then Physics and finally Chemistry on each of the corresponding floors. As you climb the stairs the sculpture will reveal a fresh perspective at every level. Talking about his creation Matthew says, “Standing as tall as a house and over a ton in weight, this sculpture could be considered Big! Whilst its purpose and obvious presence will be clear, it will hold some secrets also. Semi-transparent and with no solid volumes, there are some conceptual ‘keys to life’ within the structure and discernable for those who are prepared to find them. By identifying these keys, and linking them to each other, I hope all who visit the Science Centre may enjoy both the visual and cerebral challenge presented for years to come. It is my aim, not merely to decorate a building, but to Felicity Lusk inspire many generations of pupils to take up the challenges of science at Abingdon.” to retire Felicity Lusk has announced that she will retire as Head of the Abingdon Foundation at the end of August 2016.

  • Ÿþm I C R O S O F T W O R
    Save Kids’ TV Campaign British children’s television - on the BBC, Channel 4, ITV and Five - has been widely acknowledged as amongst the most creative and innovative in the world. But changes in children’s viewing patterns, and the ban on certain types of advertising to children, are putting huge strains on commercial broadcasters. Channel 4 no longer makes children’s programmes and ITV (until recently the UK’s second largest kids’ TV commissioner) has ceased all new children’s production. They are deserting the children’s audience because it doesn’t provide enough revenue. Channel FIVE have cut back their children’s programming too. The international channels - Disney, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network - produce some programming here, but not enough to fill the gap, and much of that has to be international in its focus so that it can be used on their channels in other territories. The recent Ofcom report on the health of children’s broadcasting in the UK has revealed that despite the appearance of enormous choice in children’s viewing, the many channels available offer only a tiny number of programmes produced in the UK with British kids’ interests at their core. The figures are shocking – only 1% of what’s available to our kids is new programming made in the UK. To help us save the variety and quality of children’s television in the UK sign the e-petition on the 10 Downing Street website or on http://www.SaveKidsTV.org.uk ends Save Kids' TV - Name These Characters and Personalities 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Help save the quality in UK children's television Go to www.savekidstv.org.uk Save Kids TV - Answers 1 Parsley The Lion The Herbs/The Adventures of Parsley 2 Custard Roobarb and Custard 3 Timothy Claypole Rentaghost 4 Chorlton Chorlton and the Wheelies 5 Aunt Sally Worzel Gummidge 6 Errol The Hamster Roland's Rat Race, Roland Rat on TV-AM etc 7 Roland Browning Grange Hill 8 Floella Benjamin TV Presenter 9 Wizbit Wizbit 10 Zelda Terrahawks 11 Johnny Ball Presenter 12 Nobby The Sheep Ghost Train, It's Wicked, Gimme 5 etc.

However, he lived in Czechoslovakia only until 1939, when his family moved to Singapore. Stoppard, his mother, and his older brother were evacuated to India shortly before the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941; his father, Eugene Straussler, remained behind and was killed. In 1946, Stoppard's mother, Martha, married British army officer Kenneth Stoppard and the family moved to England, eventually settling in Bristol. Stoppard left school at the age of seventeen and began working as a journalist, first with the Western Daily Press (1954-58) and then with the Bristol Evening World (1958-60).
