The Willow Brook half term is off to a action-packed start with the Big Bad Wolf introducing our whole-school topic, Heroes and Villains'! It's easy to believe what you've always heard... the wolf, with his sharp teeth, razor-sharp claws and reputation for spoiling more than one traditional tale, is not to be trusted. But [...]
