Year 2 have had a lovely evening playing games and singing outside. Now we're all happily tucked up in our sleeping bags watching a film! Fingers crossed for a good night's sleep🤞

What a fantastic Sports Day at Willowbrook! Congratulations to Maple on your victory and a huge thank you to Miss Stanbury for running the day like clockwork. It was lovely having so many families there to support the children - thank you! 😁

Year Two have had a magical day at Haldon Forest. We loved looking for the Faraway Tree and making bug hotels to show our Science knowledge of habitats!
Street performers (where Lewis was a star in the show), the much anticipated pizza express tea and the ultimate end to the day - The Lion King! Still smiling on the tube at the end of a busy day… we certainly got our steps in!! All safely back at the hostel 😀
The year 5/6 choir went to Green Tree Court Nursing home this afternoon to share some Christmas spirit! They practiced some of their songs they will also be performing next Monday at St James’s Park & Thursday at the Willowbrook Christmas concert! 🎵 🎤 🎄
Year 6 had a safe journey to Bude and are now happily settled into their bedrooms. We will be keeping a close eye on who has the tidiest room this week 👀🤣
Today has been just wonderful in Bude. We have laughed until we cried, and the

on display has been phenomenal. Sooooo many photos to share, so here we go...
We had a supply teacher covering in Y2 today. When they left, they stopped to tell us that our school is amazing, that the pupils and staff are great and that she would love to come back again in future. It makes us very proud to have such a warm and welcoming school community 😁
Year 5 are excited to show you a clip of their Makaton signing to ‘Hark the herald angels sing’... They hope you enjoy this performance to the amazing Pentatonix version! 😇🎶

An incredible few days in sunny London with a great bunch of y6s - they did Willowbrook proud with their excellent behaviour. Safely en route back to school now (parents - we will keep you updated with specific times once we’ve got to the services!)
We had so much fun playing our traditional Year 6 -vs- staff rounders match this afternoon! The staff are very relieved to have held on to their title as winners again this year…but well played Year 6!! 🏆

Year 2 have had a fantastic start to the year. Miss Shawyer and Miss Pilkington were so impressed at how the children thoughtfully approached and discussed the story ‘The Dot’ and then created their own gallery of dots.
Good Morning!

3H got so excited this morning when a jazzy version of White Christmas came on our playlist! We’ve learnt Makaton to the slow version and they were amazing at speeding it up and wiggling along to the jazz version! ☺️☺️ Well done Year 3!
