Welcome to Willow Tree Community Primary

Both of our Year 4 classes took part in a local area walk to investigate the amount of litter and the impact it is having on the streets where we live. The children practiced their map-making skills, planning and following a route and marking the litter, bins and recycling areas they found along the way.

It's been a great week in Year 5! Completing team challenges in PE, testing air resistance and surface area of parachutes, performing stanzas of our reading fluency poem and, after much persuasion from 5KW ALL week, Miss Wignall put on the grammarsaurus song all about subordinating conjunctions again after hearing it earlier in the week- it was a hit!

In our assemblies today we read the brilliant "Ruby's Worry", which reminds us how important it is to talk about our worries. This year each class has got their very own Worry Monster to help children who might not be confident enough to speak to an adult face-to-face. Children can write their name/worry on a piece of paper and feed it to their class monster. Teachers will check these each day to make sure every child's voice is heard. Which monster is your favourite?

Year 3 took advantage of the sunshine yesterday for their science lessons. The children odrew around each other and labelled where the skull, spine, pelvis, ribcage and femur are!

Willow Tree Primary - 17 Sep 2025

Really looking forward to our open afternoon tomorrow (Wednesday)! Come to the main office between 2-3pm and we will take you to your children's classes where you can join in with the learning, we'd love to see you there!
