• Royal Shakespeare Company visit to OBS

  Wed 13 Nov 2019 Mrs Thomas
  We were extremely privileged today to have hosted the Royal Shakespeare Company who performed 'The Merchant of Venice'. The play was absolutely amazing! Our Year 5 and 6 children were mesmerised by the acting for a whole 90 minutes and although the actors used the original Shakespeare text, the children were completely hooked and understood what was happening. We also welcomed Year 3 from Whitemoor Primary to watch the play who were equally enthralled. My 4 Shakespeare ambassadors, Aaryan, Jack, Kara and Nemrah enjoyed being stage hands and taking part in the play. They did a sterling job and did me proud!

  

• CINEMA TRIP

  Mon 11 Nov 2019 Mrs Tee
  Year 2, 3 and 4 really enjoyed their trip to Broadway cinema in town . We all learnt about what it takes to train guide dogs whilst watching 'A pick of the litter' documentary film and we found out that it is not easy! Following on from last week's visit by David and his guide dogs , from Guide dogs for the Blind, this enrichment activity has helped our children to consider and understand respect and tolerance for others. Well done OBS you were great ambassadors for our school both at the cinema and travelling there. An enormous thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came along with us.

• Year 2 Guide Dog Visit

  Mon 04 Nov 2019

  This morning Year 2 pupils were very lucky to have David and his guide dogs Brydie and Elliot visit us in class.  The children asked many sensible questions to deepen their knowledge of how and why blind people use guide dogs.  They all showed respect and tolerance in a new situation, well done.  After the visit, all the children were able to share something that they had learnt from the experience.  What a fun first morning back.
