• Pictures - Aladdin

  Sat 27 Dec 2014 Mrs Sendorek

  Just released - stills from the exciting staff pantomime in which Aladdin met Google, Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, Matilda, two Scottish Pirates (one of whom actually came from London), two Christmas Stars,  Fairy Mary Berry of cake-making fame and her arch-rival Fairy Thatcher Cake Snatcher, two beautiful princesses (neither of whom wished to marry Aladdin, sadly), Elsa from 'Frozen', Jean and Knee of the lamp who together make magic, and a real live Christmas present with rapping skills. What did Aladdin and his mother the beautiful Widow Twankee do when the dreaded Ofwash Inspector came to inspect the Oakfield Laundry? How did the laundry workers, and especially the glamorous Laundry Assistant, outwit the intruder?

  Parents, alas, will never know but the children described the show as 'the best ever '.  

• Pictures - Christmas Stars

  Sat 27 Dec 2014 Mrs Sendorek

  Now available in the Gallery - stills from this year's outstanding Christmas Production 'Christmas Stars'. This ambitious musical devised, written, produced and directed by Oakfield staff and featuring every single child from Year 1 to Year 4 incorporates music from the forthcoming concert at the O2 in which our older choir members will be singing on 29th January 2015, as well as Christmas material from 'Out of the Ark' music.

  The thought-provoking storyline winds through an excerpt from Starlight Express, a variety of food-related songs, and a rock-along trip to the Christmas shops as Google attempts to answer the children's questions about the essential quality of Christmas Eve. Do the stars really shine more brightly on that special evening, and if so, why? Only the stars themselves can answer this and they take the children through a journey firstly with Nelson Mandela and  then  back 2,000 years to the birth of the person who inspired him in his fight against the injustice of the apartheid system - the child in the manger in Bethlehem.

• Christingle service at St Stephens - Sunday 30th November

  Tue 02 Dec 2014

  Oakfield Choir, Handbells and Recorders really enjoyed joining with our friends from Trinity St Stephen First for our annual Christingle celebration. In a packed church everyone agreed that the real 'ah' moment was the climax of the service when the lights were dimmed and we sang 'Away in a Manger' by the light of our Christingles.
