This year’s South of England Show will be held from Friday, 9 June to Sunday, 11 June, and once again, Oathall will be there. Our fantastic farm team have worked tirelessly all year, and we look forward to another successful show.
We hope to see you there.
Last week, Oathall students enjoyed a fantastic trip to Ypres as part of our enrichment programme. Setting off in the early hours and not getting back until late in the day, our students represented Oathall well with their exemplary behaviour and great attitude to learning.
Thank you to everyone involved with all the hard work involved in making this trip a reality.
This assembly celebrates all the hard work and achievements from this half term.
We are looking for ten students from years 7, 8, 9 and 10 to take part in our live bake-off on Thursday, 22 June 2022.
We will supply the ingredients and equipment. You just need to bring the decorating items, cake board and a box to take it home.
We are looking for a novel, well-presented and tasty creation to impress the judges.
This year’s theme is Celebration Cakes.
To be in with a chance of being a participant, just bake your creation at home, take a photo of yourself and your cake, and either email it to Mrs Kirkpatrick ([email protected]), along with your name, tutor group and recipe (including ingredients).
Sorry, no paired entries – you must bake alone.
All entries are to be in by Tuesday, 6 June.
Good luck.
This week, our year 8 students enjoyed a visit from The Globe Players who put on a lively performance of key scenes from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Our students were captivated and will benefit from the play being brought to life by the performers as they study the text in their English lessons.
Thank you to The Globe Players, and to all involved with organising this wonderful event.
Our top readers in year 8 went to hear award-winning author Sarah Crossan recently and what an event they were treated to. Sarah writes novels in verse and she talked about what poetry is, how verse is all around us, and she challenged the audience to think about what poetry is. One of our students even went up on stage to perform a rap from the musical Hamilton, proving that verse can be found in many forms. Our students came away buzzing and eager to read her books and others in verse.
International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia is observed on May 17 and aims to coordinate international events that raise awareness of LGBT rights violations and stimulate interest in LGBT rights work worldwide.
Here at Oathall, we take mental health seriously, and our pastoral team are always on hand to offer support to our students. Monday, 15 May 2023 sees the start of National Mental Health Awareness Week, and we will be focussing on this as part of the national drive to raise awareness of mental health and its importance to all of us.
