To celebrate national fitness week KS1 and KS2 took part in Glow in the Dark Dodgeball Day. All children were able to come to school in their brightest clothes and each class took part in games of glow in the dark dodgeball. We took part in a whole school assembly to discuss National Fitness Day and the importance of staying active.
Willow Tree were lucky enough to be selected to take part in an event led by EITC to celebrate the NFL coming to England. As part of the day, some of our children met the Minnesota Viking cheerleaders and team mascot. They spent time learning a cheer and learning all about the role of the cheerleaders in the NFL.
We were also able to meet Everton FC goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. He was able to talk about his football career and also explained his love for the NFL. We went outside to learn how to catch and throw an American Football with Asmir.

French day was an opportunity to have fun using French, explore the subject through cross-curricular activities and raise the profile of the language we learn during our time in KS2.
By learning about different countries and cultures, it helps us to have a greater understanding of the world and the people who live in it. The children took part in lots of activities in school.
We had an amazing school disco after school. Children came dressed in their spookiest outfits and enjoyed a DJ, food and drink and lots of dancing.
Welcome to The Great SPOTacular! Today we all took part in an amazing day of fun, excitement, and fundraising by hosting a SPOTacular Children in Need Day. Our children looked SPOTacular and have enjoyed a day of Children in Need activities. By taking part, we all supported children and young people that are experiencing new challenges due to the cost-of-living crisis. We know that times are really tough for everyone right now, but every penny raised helps BBC Children in Need make a difference to children and young people who need it most right now, so thank you so much. We have raised £124.
We enjoyed lots of fun activities and events to celebrate Christmas this year! We visited the pantomime to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Reception and Early Years performed a wonderful nativity and KS2 showcased their beautiful singing voices at a carol concert. We also enjoyed breakfast with Santa and a lovely Christmas dinner day!
Our fanatastic catering suppliers Mellors brought in a smoothie bike to help encourage all our pupils to eat 5 fruit/vegetables a day and promote healthy eating. The children cycled the bike which then produced pureed fruit smoothies! What a fun way to to encourage healthy eating!
