As part of Anti-Bullying Week 2021, we spent some time this week in Class 5 talking about kindness. I have heard some lovely, mature ideas and seen a very thoughtful side to the class. It was really heart warming to hear and see ways children are kind to each other (and sometimes even to [...]
Willow Brook's 2021 Children in Need Day was just wonderful! With a playground full of fairies, mermaids, pirates, lost boys, ticking crocodiles and Pudsey Bears, we knew we were in for a great time. There was a costume parade with prizes, a Neverland treasure hunt and over 100 family 'shout outs' before a fish [...]
We had a fantastic start to a Monday morning with an upbeat assembly to start our anti-bullying week! It was great to see so many children holding up their odd feet that showed the world that they were proud of being utterly unique! Thank you for joining in!

This morning's Bench of Glory was quite special. We celebrated a group of children who have all shown teachers and TA's that there is a little bit of superhero inside... whether that's through clever thinking, swift action, kind hearts or simple but brilliant acts of bravery. Oscar, Bella, Elise, Heer, Alice, Kaylan and [...]
What a super first week back we have had in Year 1! First, we started off with a senses experiment in science where we looked at a couple of different items and thought about whether or not we thought the smell was good or bad. As a class, we agreed that vinegar was a [...]
