Thursday 5th March was, yet again, a World Book Day to remember at Willow Brook! This year we dressed up in 'genres' and there was certainly a wonderful array of creative costumes. We started the day together and met our new characters... From spacemen... to bears and rabbits... There were wardrobes (but thankfully no [...]
I had the pleasure of taking ten enthusiastic children to the South Notts Academy to take part in a cricket festival after school on Wednesday. I reminded these lucky ten how they had been chosen because of their good listening skills, sporting spirit and fantastic behaviour. They didn't disappoint as they moved around the sports [...]
Willow Brook had some special visitors in assembly on Thursday and learnt just what it felt like to work as a team and turn ambition into success.

The Speaker of the House brought our 180 M.P.s to order and the afternoon was as lively as Westminster! Having been the focus of our topic work in class [...]
You'll see from this small selection of pictures from Friday, that our World Book Day celebrations were filled with smiles... and plenty of reading! We had a great assembly, where extracts from books matched our costumes; did plenty of author related activities and lessons; enjoyed choosing a new book of our own from the giant [...]
Our whole school topic this half term has inspired our children to empathise with the life of those who lived 100 years ago.
