• Children in Need 2018

  Fri 16 Nov 2018

  Polebrook supported Children in Need this year with 'spotacular' day full of events to help raise money! 

  Everyone arrived in an array of different outfits from spotty dresses, onesies, facepaint and lots of other Pudsey inspired clothes! Classes completed their own Children in Need activities in classrooms while the playground was transformed at playtime and lunchtime with lots of different games, fun competitions and a merchandise stall ran by Purple Class.

  Overall Polebrook School managed to raise a huge £296.54 in just one day! It was a tremendous effort by all and really fun day for a great cause.  

  

• Purple Class visit the Tutankhamun exhibition

  Fri 09 Nov 2018

  Yesterday, Purple Class were transported back to ancient times as we explored the findings of Tutankhamun’s infamous tomb at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

  The trip include a workshop where the children made replicas of artefacts that were found inside Tutankhamun’s sarcophagus and a self-guided tour around the exhibit.

   

  The entire exhibit was over two floors and full of video footage from the historical discovery by Howard Carter as well as maps and descriptions for everything that was found. We were all mesmerised and overwhelmed at the treasures and some couldn’t believe the artefacts were real! All children were true ambassadors of Polebrook, their behaviour was outstanding and we were so proud to watch them going round the exhibit looking amazed.

  Thank you so much for parents and FOPs for this incredible opportunity that will be with the children (and adults) forever!

• Green and Red class have a visit from 'People who Help'

  Wed 07 Nov 2018

  What an exciting day it was for our Red and Green Class. Supporting our topic of 'People who help', we were visited by firemen in a fire engine from Oundle station.

  The children had a short presentation first and some of the children got to try on the uniform.

  Then the children all put their coats on to go outside and each child had a go sitting in the fire engine and a really special treat, they all got to squirt water from the hose.

  Then it was time to say goodbye and the children all waved the fireman and the fire engine off whilst it had it's siren and blue lights on.

  A huge thank you very much to Oundle Fire and Rescue Service for your wonderful visit and supporting our topic.

  

• Victorian School for Blue Class

  Fri 02 Nov 2018

  Before half term, Blue class enjoyed going back in time to Victorian School. We all looked the part in our Victorian outfits.  

  During the morning we had lessons in reading, writing and arithmetic. We wrote on slates and used ink pens to practice  handwriting, luckily no one had to wear the dunces hat!

  In the afternoon we made Victorian toys and we even got to try gruel!
