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 [...]
This week we have celebrated Goldilocks's birthday as in the story of the Jolly Postman. We have written our own invitations and made cards and decorations to prepare. On Thursday we brought our cuddly toys in from home to dance, play games with and share in all the fun! We all joined in with [...]
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.

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 [...]
Class R had such a wonderful outdoor learning experience on Monday afternoon. We put our physical skills to the test and practiced climbing on the equipment.
