• END OF ASSESSMENT WEEK TALENT SHOW

  Fri 15 Feb 2019

  As the children have been working so hard on their mid year assessments this week throughout school we thought we'd end the week with a whole school talent show.

  Our school captains for: dance, drama, singing and gymnastics were our 8 judges for all 24 acts who had been nominated by their peers in their own year groups to make it through to this afternoons performance!

  The judges gave each act a score out of 10 for:

  - talent/skill

  - confidence/bravery

  - entertainment

  - audience enjoyment

  The total scores of the judges were then calculated by our maths captains! AND THE RESULTS WERE.............

  3RD PLACE - Michelle (Y5) for her piano performance

  2ND PLACE - Theo and Georgia (Y4) for their dance

  1ST PLACE - Willow, Penny, Millie & Sunami for their Moana (F2) singing and dancing!

  WHAT AN INCREDIBLE AFTERNOON! We have some very talented children here at OBS! (Opportunities Bring Success!)
