Willowbrook Choir's City Hall Performance
Thu 30 Jun 2016On Wednesday 29th June, our wonderful choir were invited to take part in a city-wide event celebrating academic success and future vision across Cardiff's schools. The evening also gave us the opportunity for us to showcase the fabulous work the Eco Committee and the wider school have been involved in as we prepare to apply for the Platinum Award. The choir sang two rousing songs that truly lifted the spirit and it was a joy to see how they rose to the occasion, making us all so proud of them arddechog pawb!

Go Green Day
Fri 27 May 2016We are working towards achieving the Eco Platinum Award and our 'Go Green Day' gave the school the opportunity to think about how we can be eco-friendly in very practical ways. We were delighted to welcome Tim Roberts who led an assembly on Eco Living and carried out some excellent workshops with classes in Key Stage 2. Have a look at the pictures and see how eco aware the pupils and staff at Willowbrook are!

Arctic Explorer visits Willowbrook!
Mon 25 Apr 2016Antony Jinman has skied to both poles in his time as an explorer and shared his incredible journeys with us today (25.4.16). He also led two excellent workshops, the first on how to make a glacier using cornflour, plasticine and water with Year Three pupils. The second workshop gave Year Six the opportunity to learn more about the necessary equipment needed for an expedition and ask questions covering a wide range of interesting issues. We are so privileged to have welcomed Antony to the school and when he next sets off on his journeys, we plan to email him with questions to find out via 'live link' how he is getting on!

Our French Partner Teacher visits Willowbrook!
Fri 22 Apr 2016We were really excited to welcome Barbara the French teacher from Bordeaux who Miss Davies stayed with on her visit there in the Autumn Term. The children really enjoyed having Barbara visit their classes and explain all about her school, the local area and the sights of Bordeaux. The children had lots of questions to ask about the French school system and were surprised to hear that the French pupils don’t wear uniform and they have a Wednesday afternoon off! She also taught the children some French songs and we sang some Welsh songs for her too. Barbara came to Miss Davies’ French club and taught the children how to say ‘My favourite subject is…’ and the different French words for stationary items. All the pupils loved having Barbara in the club and felt very lucky to meet someone who spoke fluent French. Merci Barbara!

Bling your Bike!
Fri 15 Apr 2016As part of our two week 'Big Pedal' where we are encouraging our pupils to cycle or scoot to school, we held a 'Bling your Bike' day on the 15th April. As the photos show, we had some imaginative and highly visible decorations on both bikes and helmets! Well done to all involved and those who came in the top 3 were given prizes to say 'well done!' Our thanks to Hamish from Sustrans for his help and to Miss Davies for organising the event.
