In late November, eight children in years 5 & 6 attended a rowing festival (on machines!) just down the road at South Wolds Academy. The children faced a series of challenges and achieved their best score on their very last attempt! Well done team! We have also had two multi skills festivals in [...]
On Wednesday 13th November, six children from Year 5 represented Willow Brook in a dodgeball festival at East Leake Academy.
