Science Ambassador Morning
Wed 09 Jul 2025This week, 3 of our Year 5 children were invited to attend the Science Ambassador morning, held at Kings Cliffe Primary School.
This was an opportunity for Year 5s to learn the skills required to help lead Science across our school next year.
Responsibilities will include helping to set up investigations, leading assemblies, helping children in science lessons to deepen their knowledge and monitoring equipment. During the morning, the children teamed up with other children from local schools to take part in investigations and solve scientific problems. These included making bath bombs, looking at our DNA under microscopes and building structures!
As always, our children were wonderful Polebrook ambassadors 😊

DA create amazing castles
Fri 04 Jul 2025This week, David Attenborough Class have been busy bringing history to life with their fantastic castle homework projects! Each child created a castle at home using cereal boxes and other recycled materials – and they are absolutely amazing! From drawbridges to turrets, moats to battlements, the children have included all the features we’ve been learning about in class.
What’s even more special is that these were real family projects- everyone has got stuck in. The effort and creativity that went into each castle is truly impressive – well done, everyone!
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Next, we’ll be spending an afternoon designing and building catapults to invade each other’s castles (don’t worry – no castles will be harmed!). We can’t wait to put our creations to the test in a playful battle of medieval engineering!

Level 2 - they went out on the roads where they learnt to - start and stop with more confidence, pass stationary vehicles parked on a road, understand the road: signals, signs and road markings, negotiate the road: including quiet junctions, crossroads and how to share the road with other vehicles.

DA class to Rockingham Castle
Thu 26 Jun 2025David Attenborough Class had an unforgettable visit to the historic Rockingham Castle. As they explored the grand old building, the children were able to identify many fascinating features, from arrow slits in the stone walls to towering battlements. They were especially amazed by the impressive castle kitchen and the grand feast on display, which gave them a real sense of how people lived long ago.
Outside, the adventure continued with a stroll past the quirky Elephant Hedge and a peaceful woodland walk. The scent of the blooming rose garden added a magical touch to the day. But the highlight for everyone was definitely the spooky dungeon—dark, cold, and just scary enough to make it thrilling! It was a day full of learning, excitement, and stories they won’t soon forget.
