• OBS School Has Got Talent!

  Fri 12 Nov 2021 Mrs Kelly

  Simran in Year 6 showcased her talent during the star of Basford awards. Miss Crosby was blown away with her piano playing skills, she excitedly told me that I had to witness it for myself. So on Friday myself and Class 7 entered the school hall full of anticipation ready to witness first hand the delights of Simran's piano playing skills. We were not disappointed and were blown away! She played a range of songs from her repertoire and had the audience eating out of her hand, singing, dancing with faces beaming from ear to ear. She drew in other adults from around the school who came to see where the beautiful music was coming from. Simran has taught herself to play the keyboard at home, learning by ear. Thank you Simran it was a purely magical and we can't wait to hear you play again.
