Year 7 pupils spent a very enjoyable team building day at Gisburn Forest. The rain didn’t dampen their spirits as they started the day with an orienteering activity. They worked in small groups to solve the clues, with many groups even returning so quickly that they were challenged to find [...]
Year 4 pupils had a wonderful surprise in store for Mme Crook when she arrived for this week's French lesson! A group of them had been working hard on a surprise for her - a French flag made out of Lego bricks. They had been determined to produce something extra [...]
The boys and girls at Oakhill School very much wanted to send their thoughts, love and Christmas greetings to those who have found 2020 an especially hard year. Year Four have written to a group of ladies who live at the almshouses in Waddington. We hope that these letters bring [...]

Year Four have been looking at different types of fractions as part of their maths studies. Annabel and Stanley got themselves into a bit of a STICKY situation trying to find lots of equivalent fractions equal to one whole - but they STUCK at it and found them all.
