Cross Country for MLK
Fri 17 Oct 2025A huge well done to our cross country team from Year 5 and 6 who participated in the RLT cross country tournament at Catsmore College yesterday.
The distance was for Year 5 - 1.8km and for Year 6 - 2km
The children had an opportunity to watch the first races and observe and judge the distance and whilst doing this they were clapping and encouraging other runners from other schools.
The distance for some was daunting but the positive attitude and ‘give it a go’ was truly impressive to see.
All the pupils participating had a great time.
Well done Team Polebrook, we are really proud of you

Thu 10 Jul 2025The past two days our KS2 wowed audiences with the end of year performance of 'The School-O-Vision Song Contest' A comical take on the song contest using school characters.

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!

Success for MLK class with their Bikeability
Tue 01 Jul 2025Last week, MLK class had their Bikeability training.
This involved four half hour days of training.
Level 1- the training took place on the school playground where they could learn in a traffic-free environment.
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.
All who completed the Bikeability received a certificate, badge and handbook.
Well done to all for all your hard work, this is a great life skill!

Mon 30 Jun 2025Our Year 6s attended the RLT Music Day at Cottesmore Academy last Friday.
This was an opportunity for our Leavers to come together and celebrate through a range of different activities including sports, dance, music and art. Our children also performed a song to the other schools and had the opportunity to take part in an entire trust choir! There was even a teacher’s choir who also took to the stage!
This day is always so special and fun and it was lovely to see our Year 6s come together for a fun-filled day.
