Oughton's Art Exhibition:A night of Colour and Creativity (June 2024)
|
On Thursday night, Oughton's Art Exhibition lit up the school with an explosion of colour, creativity, and community spirit. This year’s exhibition showcased the incredible artistic talents of students from each class, presenting a vibrant array of artwork that left everyone in awe. Every class had the opportunity to display two distinct pieces of art. The first piece was a creation from the curriculum, a variety of pieces across the whole-school. From intricate drawings and detailed paintings to stunning sculptures and imaginative mixed-media pieces, the quality and variety of the artwork were truly impressive. In addition to the curriculum pieces, each class contributed a special artwork linked to this year’s theme: Rainbow. This theme was chosen to symbolise diversity, unity, and the spectrum of creativity that our pupils bring to their work.

The themed pieces ranged from abstract representations to literal depictions of rainbows, each one unique and full of vibrant colours. A standout feature of the exhibition was the collective project: a rainbow of faces. Each class was assigned a different colour of the rainbow and created portraits using that colour as the primary palette. The result was a beautiful and cohesive rainbow mural made up of individual faces. It was a powerful visual statement and a highlight of the evening.
The exhibition was more than just a display of artwork; it was a celebration of the creativity and hard work of our pupils and teachers. The vibrant atmosphere was enhanced by the presence of proud parents, enthusiastic children, and supportive staff members, all coming together to appreciate and celebrate the artistic achievements of our young artists. The exhibition also featured an art competition that showcased remarkable work from Nursery to Year 6. The creativity and skill demonstrated by the students made it a tough decision for Mrs. Clayton, who had the challenging task of judging the entries.
The impressive range of artwork reflected the dedication and passion of our young artists, making the competition a true celebration of talent across all age groups. Oughton's Art Exhibition was a night to remember, filled with colour, joy, and a sense of community. It showcased not only the artistic talents of our students but also the spirit of collaboration and creativity that thrives within our school. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event a spectacular success. We can't wait to see what our pupils will create next year!

World Book Day (March 2024)
We had an absolutely fantastic World Book Day on Thursday, March 7th, at Oughtonl! The day was filled with joy and creativity as our students embraced the theme by coming to school in their cozy pyjamas, sharing their favourite bedtime stories. The enthusiasm and passion for literature were palpable as each child brought their beloved characters to life through our unique toilet roll book character activity. From Harry Potter to Matilda, the creativity and individuality showcased in their creations were truly remarkable. During assembly, our students proudly presented their characters, each one more imaginative than the last. It was a wonderful celebration of the magic of storytelling and the power of imagination. We are incredibly proud of our students' enthusiasm and creativity on World Book Day, and we look forward to many more literary adventures together!
