🎶 A Fantastic Day of Music in Manchester! 🎭🎵

Yesterday, our GCSE Music pupils enjoyed a brilliant trip to Manchester, beginning with a visit to hear the Hallé Orchestra perform Music Through the Ages. What a fantastic opportunity to experience live orchestral music and gain valuable insights into compositional techniques, orchestration and how music has developed over time! 🎻🎺

🍕 Of course, pizza is practically compulsory on any Music trip, so a delicious lunch was definitely on the agenda!

And why stop at one performance when you can fit in two? 🎭

Our afternoon took us to The Choir of Man – an absolutely incredible show packed with outstanding musicianship, energetic dance, breathtaking vocal harmonies and plenty of humour! 🎤👏

Beyond the entertainment, the show carries an important message about men's mental health, friendship and the importance of looking out for one another, supporting the work of the mental health charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). 💙

A truly memorable day, full of inspiration, learning and the joy of live music! 🎶✨

Year 5 have loved learning all about the Titanic's infamous maiden voyage in their History lessons. They have investigated different historical sources, explored the experiences of first, second and third class passengers and researched the people who travelled aboard the ship. They have also enjoyed drawing the Titanic in their Art lessons and ended their topic by making the Titanic out of clay. Well done year 5

Lower Prep enjoyed pumpkin picking in their very own pumpkin patch. Prep Gardening Club grew the pumpkin plants from seeds and planted them back in May and they have been spreading out and taking over our new garden all summer. Just in time for Hallow'een!

Last Friday 9th October, students from seniors and prep took part in Hello Yellow Day to support young people's mental health. Students were encouraged to wear a yellow accessory alongside their uniform's and it was lovely to see so many students and teachers getting involved, bringing lots of sunshine yellow to Oakhill.
We raised just over 136 pounds.

Today years 7 & 8 went to Blackpool Grand Theatre to watch the live performance of Horrible Histories - Terrible Tudors. They all got fully involved, singing along to the songs and playing judge and jury to dish out medieval punishments. We all had a great time learning about the terrible Tudors.

A HUGE well done to all of the runners who took part in the Accrington 10k earlier this month. We hope everyone is loving their medal, which was designed by our very own Fatima in Year 5. We are proud sponsors of the run this year and all pupils in prep were given the opportunity to design this year’s medal. The judges chose Fatima as the winner as they loved her reasoning behind her design choice which was, ‘If I had just run a race, I would want fireworks!’ Fatima was presented with her very own medal today in assembly (luckily she didn’t have to run 10k to earn it!) along with a few goodies from Accrington Road Runners. We also need to give a big well done to Miss Portas who ran the race and finished in a great position. Super effort everyone!
