The Arts Reviews

Dance Party Review
James Palmer


Hello. I went to the dance dj party at the Courtyard. I watched 7 performances at the event.
My favourite was MC Yungstar. I really enjoyed the energy of the crowd and I will tell my friends to come to the next one.

'I felt that the event was a success' I enjoyed the DJ's and i really liked the dancers.

I really enjoyed showing my VJ skills at the event.

2011 Veolia Wildlife Photography

Christy Mckeon




I am interested in taking photgraphs and i went to the wildlife Photograph show in London.
I went with my mum and sister. My favourite image is Daniel Beltra. I like the way the photographer show how small and scared the young birds look.
The exhibition has really inspired my pictures.

Grease -the Musical

by Chloe Coleman


I thought the show was fantastic! I really would love to sing in a west end show.


The dancing and singing was brilliant and I really liked the actor Danny Bayne who played Danny, he was my favourite. Go to see this you will not regret it!

One Direction at the Regal Feb 2011








It was raining as waited outside the reagl, but we were so excited we hardly noticed.


We were really near the front and i could see harry he is my favourite singer.
The best song that they played was Chasing cars and then they sang happy birthday to harry, that was funny. I really think this band is the best and really liked going to see them.

London Trip to TATE Modern



Naill Murphy









We went across the Millenium Bridge and saw St Pauls on the way to the art gallery.
The Tate modern is really big and we looked around at alot of art and sculptures some of it very odd.


The best painting i saw was by Monet I liked the way it was painted.
I have made a comic book about my day in London.

Paramore Concert
Jonathan Willis Hargreaves





I felt amazing, it was awesome!



I enjoyed the music and the concert, my favourite part was 'the only exception' when everyone

raised their phones and lighters.

JLS Concert Oxford








The event was amazing and really loud.



I enjoyed all the dancing and watching them perform all their songs and covers the most. Other people don't like them as much but I think they are very talented.

MILK AND INK - MAP Exhibition

Work from MAP's recent exhibition at The Mill Arts Centre is now online. The images were created by young people in Bicester, using milk, ink vegetable oil and Photoshop.




The exhibition was one of the most popular yet, maybe even too popular - three images stolen from the Mill during the exhibition...
