• Fun at the Bubble Blast Colour Dash

  Thu 04 Jun 2026

  On the last Friday before half term, the children (and even some parents!) had a fabulous time at the Bubble Blast Colour Dash.

   

  On one of the hottest days, the children enjoyed bubbles, colour and cooled down by water!

   

  Love the before and after photo!

   

  This was a great colourful event bringing together the school community having lots of fun whilst raising money for a truly special children’s charity, Lifting Children’s Hopes.

   

  Through our partnership with LCH, our school’s children and families directly benefit from the vital support they provide. Their work helps bring comfort, care and hope to children when they need it most, while also supporting thousands of children and families across our wider community.

   

  Thank you for all your generous sponsorship, we are waiting to hear the total raised.

  

• Polebrook children celebrate May Day

  Tue 02 Jun 2026

  Just before half term, Polebrook children celebrated May Day with their traditional maypole dancing.
  
  The children all looked really smart in their outfits and the whole afternoon was a huge success. Even the sun was shining!
  
  On the Friday, the whole school walked to the war memorial to lay the flowers.
  
  A huge thanks to everyone involved in the organisation, our wonderful FOPS Friends of Polebrook School for the catering and the children from DA class for donating cakes and the Year 5 children for making and selling lemonade.
  
  A special thanks for the flower donations and for the amazing volunteers who created such wonderful displays. We could not have done it without you!

  

• Fascinating microscopes

  Thu 14 May 2026

  To conclude the STEM sessions Year 5 have been having at Oundle School, they had an extended visit using microscopes.
  
  They were fascinated at what they could see through the microscope such as animal fur and plants.
  
  They created scientific drawings based on their findings.
  
  Looking at the inside of their cheek through a scraping was the most exciting part of the session.

• The 'egg challenge'!

  Tue 24 Mar 2026

  The Science Ambassadors invited everyone to take part in the 'egg challenge'

   

  The Egg Drop Challenge is a classic STEM activity where participants build a contraption to protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a height.

   

  The goal is to apply physics concepts—like increasing impact time, reducing velocity via air resistance, and cushioning—to withstand gravity!

   

  So last Friday, the whole school watched the amazing designs being dropped from a height. Some made it and some didn't!

   

  Great fun was had by all.
