A rather special day at Keyworth Cricket Club today saw us retain the Cotton Tuckwell trophy for a 3rd year in a row! After very positive performances in the morning versus St Edmund Campion and Tollerton, we were placed in a knockout group with Kinoulton, Keyworth and St Peters. After a great win vs [...]
Welcome to the last whole-school topic of the year! It's going to be a great one! We are off to Ancient Greece to experience life during the very first Olympiad. Have a look at our plans and look forward to joining us for our exhibition of work on July 17th. [...]
Tick Tock, Tick Tock How on Earth has the year nearly gone already? It seems only yesterday that everyone walked into year five, fresh from their time in year four, ready and eager to learn new things. Thankfully, that is still the case and we really have a great half term lined up. Over [...]
Sport at Willow Brook in May has certainly been one of the better months for sport this year. Every month is special for sport, but May has seen 4 fantastic victories in football (2 for the boys and 2 for the girls) and 2 of these wins being played back on our home turf [...]
3... 2... 1... Go! We've had an excellent afternoon in year five today. Our classroom was abuzz with sticking Sellotape, careful cutting and gloopy glueing. Firstly, our intrepid egg astronauts needing bringing to life (in some cases they arrived pre-painted!) After, the construction of our final parachutes and capsules was on the agenda. Finally, [...]
What a year! The children who have attended my Fantasy Football Club have astounded me this year. Their commitment to coming each and every week has been a joy to witness. Their scheming, transfer dealings, musings and general desire to win has been a pleasure to be a part of. Of course, to cap [...]
Atmospheric Re-entry! The children worked tirelessly during our D.T. lesson this week to create their fantastic prototype space capsules. They used their creativity and imagination to engineer their re-entry vehicles. After a laborious construction process we tested our vehicles and detailed how we would seek to improve upon our initial designs in the next [...]
It's been another wet month but, two Saturday tournaments and two midweek games since the Easter break have seen a couple of wins (we're back!) and some positive individual and team performances. We have also been involved this week in an Outdoor Adventurous Activities Festival at Rushcliffe Country Park with year 3 & 4. [...]
Summer Sun Easter eggs always look so appealing in the shops – bright, colourful and stuffed with chocolate. Having said that, I certainly think (as a household) we’ve consumed more than enough to see us through to next year now! Throughout the Easter break we’ve been incredibly busy. Day trips to faraway places, visiting [...]
It was an absolute treat to welcome the author LD Lapinski to Willow Brook on Friday! We have had such a great half term in the company of Flick and Jonathan from the 'Strangeworlds Travel Agency' trilogy, that it was a treat to meet their creator. We started the day with the whole school [...]
