I am very proud to announce that Willow Brook are the champions of the Keyworth Cricket Club Schools Tournament. The past 3 years we have been proud holders of the Cotton Tuckwell trophy. However, yesterday we brought home the "crème de la crème", the shield, which is now sitting high and handsome at the [...]
Our final whole-school topic of the year takes us into town! In the Hood is an eight-week project that sees us learning the history and geography of Nottinghamshire. We've already met Jesse Boot, visited Nottingham Castle and learnt all about the famous architecture designed by Watson Fothergill. There's still so much more to learn! [...]
On May 8th, Willow Brook joined with the nation in marking V.E. Day’s 80th anniversary. Our morning was spent exploring photographs, film clips and written sources that opened up the war years through the eyes of a child. We listened to Winston Churchill... watched the dancing in Trafalgar Square... saw children returned from evacuation [...]
It's been an action packed first two weeks back in football and I am pleased to say we have achieved multiple tremendous results (both boys and girls). Wins against Jesse Gray, Carnarvon and Radcliffe have been special, but a personal favourite (although not for my heart rate!) was our girls cup semi-final against Gotham [...]
As a school, Willow Brook has signed up to Picture News. This is a national news weekly publication that we will use as an assembly (or lesson) that will support our My World/PSHE curriculum. We aim to get children reflecting in a more focused way on British Values, world events and our 5 C's. [...]
Sixteen brave debaters battled this morning for the title of Willow Brook Champion in our Balloon Debate. After a half-term full of learning about Charles Darwin and how he changed the world, the children were asked to think of who they would nominate to travel alongside him... who did they see as a world [...]
Red Nose Day is always full of good humour at Willow Brook! As well as adding some rousing singing to the morning, our bake sale helped us to celebrate Comic Relief's 40th birthday by sharing some fabulous cakes! Our 'Doing Something funny' talent show after lunch was a superb mix of sketches and one-liners. [...]
In recognition of International Women's Day, Willow Brook supported the England Football Association's day to promote women in sport. The girls got stuck in and loved the challenge... and if the boys felt a little left behind during [...]
There's nothing more exciting in the performance calendar than our annual trip to Young Voices! This year certainly did not disappoint. Singing alongside 5,000 other children in a packed arena is just awesome. From the afternoon's rehearsal, to spotting your Mum or Grandparents in the crowds and then to performing with the band, nothing [...]
