Oak Heights school end of term 1

Oak Heights School is getting closer to their Christmas holidays. Charity week is now over and the students had great participation in fund raising and done an excellent job. Throughout this week and next week we have study week for the children to study and be ready for their end of term exams. Alongside the fun the students have had at Oak Heights School the children will now have to put their heads down and study hard!
It has been an exciting and eventful week at Oak Heights as the students have been busy on school trips. Mid week Oak Heights had their wonderful annual Christmas trip which this year was to Winter Wonderland Ice Skating Rink. The children had an amazing time as it was a first time experience for most. Many children did not know how to skate and by the end of the session where skating which was a great achievement. Organising a trip to Winter Wonderland was a first for Oak Heights School as usually during Christmas we attend the National History Museum but we thought changing the annual school trip would be a great surprise for the students. Both the students and teachers who supervised the trip had great fun and having time left over we also went on many rides after skating and having lunch together.
Alongside the fun trip the children had this week we also had our compulsory English trip which was to the theatre as well for students within year 9 and 10. The trip was allocated to the theatre to watch 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. This is a mystery novel written in 2003 by writer Mark Haddon which was studied last year by the year 10's and currently studied by the year 9's. Watching the show will give the children an insight to understand the story line in more depth and get a more vivid image of what the story is about. Having a more vivid image will allow the children to expand their minds when doing their written work in class based on this play to attain good marks.
