This week, Class 3 have been busy immersing themselves in a rather daunting quest...the quest to find EDGEcalibur! We were faced with rather a tricky riddle, and after some scratching of heads, noticing that there were some shapes around the riddle and wondering what it all meant, we got busy making the 3D shape [...]
After such a wet and dreary week, Children in Need Day at Willow Brook has certainly added its inevitable burst of sunshine! As always, your kindness and sense of fun meant that the hall this morning was full of characters from Camelot and Pudsey Bears. The Round Table was laden with playtime treats and a [...]
On Monday, Year 1 were very surprised to see that a beanstalk had grown in the middle of their class. To learn more about beanstalks and what we might find at the top, we read the classic story Jack and the beanstalk. The children really enjoyed listening to a tale that they had heard before [...]

This is in my opinion the toughest and most punishing event in the calendar, as children race out of sight, up [...]

Learning to play together with Miss Phillips and the parachute... Getting co-ordinated with a group skip... Reading your favourite book... And finishing your [...]
Thank you so much, Willow Brook, for your incredible support on our 'Cake Breakfast' fundraiser. You never cease to amaze me - your generosity, support and sense of community is second to none and I am so proud of all that we achieve when we work together. This morning's effort (and a little rainy day [...]
On Monday evening I had the pleasure to take a group of children to the Nottingham Rugby Club. It was safe to say there were lots of smiles, scrapes and surprises! I am also delighted to report that two keen boys came to me today to say that they are going for a trial to [...]
