Thanks to a second visit from our trusted superhero, Captain Connection, Willow Brook children have once again used their mathematical minds to defeat Lord Homework! In a time-travelling escapade, our algebra skills were needed to crack the code to free Scheherazade from the evil vizier in ancient Baghdad. Every year group rose to the [...]
We had three wishes for Children in Need Day from the genie... Our first was to raise over £1,000 and hit a new fundraising target. Our second was to order blue skies and no rain so that we could complete the outdoor Aladdin challenge. The third was to have a day where the Willow [...]
On Monday, Willow Brook marked the start of Anti Bullying Week. Everyone wore odd socks and understood that whatever the difference, standing side by side was still wonderfully possible. Throughout the day the children made pledges, wrote a policy, learnt how to speak out, added words of kindness to their socks and enjoyed Andy [...]
There was an escaped Gingerbread Man at Willow Brook this week... It took the Little Old Man, his wife and 24 eager children in EYFS to catch him! Fortunately, after the drama, there were biscuits in the oven, lots of role play and some super pictures to show... as well as an exhausted Old [...]
The year six children looked a perfect picture of Victorian squalor dressed in flat caps or mop caps whilst turning machines by hand. I'm sure that the children of Ruddington's framework knitters probably resented having to spend ten hours a day of winding the bobbin up or turning the crank on the Griswold circular [...]
We have been busy with sport this week and tomorrow is a rare day off for the Willow Brook sporting teams! Monday saw the girls' football team travel over to Rosecliffe to play in a friendly match. This was an opportunity for a lot of the team to make debuts / get valuable minutes. [...]
There is no better reason to eat cake for breakfast than our annual fundraiser for MacMillan! With thanks to a Willow Brook community full of kindness and baking determination, we raised a wonderful £750 for the charity and had a happy start to our Friday morning. Our medal winners will receive their rewards in [...]
It has been a pleasure to welcome the new members of our community over the past week. You have shown courage, creativity and confidence... and we are so impressed! Have a look at all that you have done in your first three days at school and hold tight to that curiosity, sense of adventure [...]
It was a brilliantly sunny afternoon for our Tournament... year 6 had gone to enjoy life at secondary school and we had the field and the energy to experience some exciting new games. Have a look at what we got up to. [...]
Whilst the clouds loomed overhead, the athletes of Willow Brook were determined not to be defeated! As you can see from today's gallery, there were plenty of races before we had to admit defeat and come indoors! There were determined smiles on the track today, together with cheers and awards, which resulted in a [...]
