Willow Brook - we did it! We dodged the showers and the occasional thunder and had a fabulous week of sports and games. As you'll see from the photos and the footage, there was a whole host of events on offer every day to run alongside the traditional trackside races. Our tournament day [...]
Class 2 have been having more fun with science. After building our Titanic mini models we were very curious about floating and sinking and have done two more investigations to learn more. We braved the drizzle to create some floating and sinking sorting diagrams on the playground. First of all we predicted which materials [...]
Class 2 are really enjoying this half term's topic learning about the journey of Titanic. We started off being historians, and discovered facts about Titanic hidden on the trim trail. We learned about the ship itself and helped Captain Smith plan the journey across the Atlantic. Then we found out about some of the [...]

Year 2 have been busy creating their own pizzas. [...]
This week we have taken on the role of animators to bring our adventures to life. Take a look at our stop motion animations below.

Next Friday, like many other children across the country, everyone at school will be entering a very special competition. For more than 50 years Royal Mail’s Special Stamp programme has commemorated British history and achievement. [...]
Class 2 had a fun afternoon in our outdoor classroom finding out what we can using four of our five senses (lunch had just been eaten, so tasting had been done!). We learnt that there were some smells that we liked and others that were less appealing! Here's a few photos of our science [...]
This morning we got together with 7 people who had been chosen by the Willow Brook classes to set off on a balloon ride. After a week of investigation, the children had nominated their heroes - someone who they considered to be a world changer. It would be our honour to spend time with [...]
