News from Class 4
The girls football team did fantastically well at their most recent Rushcliffe schools Saturday tournament. Five group stage matches and only one defeat! The girls finished 2nd in their group, just behind Greythorn who went on to become the overall winners of the tournament. The girls are on a magnificent run at the moment [...]
It's been an action packed first two weeks back in football and I am pleased to say we have achieved multiple tremendous results (both boys and girls). Wins against Jesse Gray, Carnarvon and Radcliffe have been special, but a personal favourite (although not for my heart rate!) was our girls cup semi-final against Gotham [...]
As a school, Willow Brook has signed up to Picture News. This is a national news weekly publication that we will use as an assembly (or lesson) that will support our My World/PSHE curriculum. We aim to get children reflecting in a more focused way on British Values, world events and our 5 C's. [...]
Sixteen brave debaters battled this morning for the title of Willow Brook Champion in our Balloon Debate.

Red Nose Day is always full of good humour at Willow Brook!

Our 'Doing Something funny' talent show after lunch was a superb mix of sketches and one-liners. [...]

In recognition of International Women's Day, Willow Brook supported the England Football Association's day to promote women in sport. The girls got stuck in and loved the challenge... and if the boys felt a little left behind during [...]
Year 3 and 4 had a fantastic time on residential this week at Beaumanor Hall. Despite the drizzle and cold weather we created shelters, built and raced land buggies, completed teamwork games and (probably the highlight for many) played hide and seek in the cellars! The catering staff were impressed by how polite the [...]
There's nothing more exciting in the performance calendar than our annual trip to Young Voices! This year certainly did not disappoint. Singing alongside 5,000 other children in a packed arena is just awesome. From the afternoon's rehearsal, to spotting your Mum or Grandparents in the crowds and then to performing with the band, nothing [...]
