Year 5 Science Once again, the children in class five have astounded me with their brilliant minds. This time, they've applied themselves to the question of, 'Which parachute would help you survive the fall?' During our science lesson, the class assembled a range of parachutes, from 10cm squares to 40cm squares and dropped them [...]
Our first football match of 2025 saw us play in a 7 goal thriller against St Edmund Campion. With the game being labelled as a friendly, it saw a great opportunity for some of the girls to have their first experience playing in a match, as well as more match practice for the [...]
Year 5 Poems Since returning to school we have immersed ourselves in the book, 'The Lost Words', a beautifully illustrated and written collection of poems about nature. The book was inspired by the removal of everyday nature words from a children's dictionary. The words were removed because they weren't used enough by children - [...]

The children participated in multiple competitive (but well spirited!) games against Radcliffe on Trent, Heymann and Lady Bay. We won some, we lost some, but most importantly, we had LOADS of fun!

It is always a pleasure to support the BBC's Children in Need fundraiser and Willow Brook does it with superhero strength! It is a charity close to our hearts and helps our young people to be a community in action for children who might not have the opportunities and privileges that we so often [...]
Tuesday was the start of Willow Brook's Anti-Bullying Week. We came together with Andy and his Odd Socks to remember how important it was to celebrate difference and promote respect. Everyone in school listened to some good advice on how to treat our friends and also how to show self-respect. We wrote pledges, talked [...]
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 [...]
