Solar Eclipse Video

To capture the events of this morning, we set up some time lapse cameras around the Oaks building to try to catch the moments of darkness. While the light was definitely subdued, it didn't get as dark as some of us expected, and unfortunately it doesn't come across as well on our videos as it did in real-life.

Why not watch the video below anyway to check out our footage and see some of the great photos!

We had brilliant clear skies to watch the eclipse and it was a fascinating and rare experience for all!

Jubilee Celebrations

For the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, we had a fantastic day consisiting of various "royal-related" activities! In the morning, we had an assembly where all the children performed their own dances. Throughout the afternoon, we held various activities outside on the field, including a 'street-party' style picnic, and building a giant Union Jack out of natural resources found around the school site!

Take a look at the video below to see just some of what we got up to!

School Talent Show

On the last day before Easter, the school held a talent show down in the Oaks Hall. The competition was fierce; all of the acts who entered were superb!

We have taken a bit of time to compile the video below to show you some great snippets of each act. Enjoy!
