• Sports Hall Athletics

  Thu 01 Feb 2018

  Thursday, Purple Class took part in the Sports Hall Athletics Event for Years 5 and 6, held at Lodge Park Academy in Corby.

  There were over 15 schools taking part over the course of the day and some of the events included triple jump, speed bounce, relay races and javelin. Purple Class were excellent ambassadors of Polebrook and supported both each other and other schools. Overall everybody thoroughly enjoyed the event and the children put 100% effort (as always) into each race – well done!

  

• Polebrook School Christmas Party

  Wed 20 Dec 2017

  Another amazing day at Polebrook Primary School and the children have had a great time at the party, with lots of party food donated- thank you.

  After lunch the children then had a surprise visit from a very special and soon to be very busy gentleman, Father Christmas who kindly brought gifts for the classrooms.

  Party games were then played within the classrooms before another treat.

  Reindeers!

  Two reindeers came to school and the children got to learn all about these special animals.

  Thank you to Woodbine Reindeers for bringing them in to school and to the elves for your help!

  

• Hey Ewe!

  Mon 18 Dec 2017

  ‘Hey Ewe’- the Christmas story as seen through the eyes of a curious sheep!

  After lots of rehearsing and lines memorised, the day of the performances had finally arrived and the last two days have seen our Early Years and KS1 shine in front of a packed audience.

  The children had lots of fun entertaining you with their version of the nativity and were in good voice singing the fun songs.

  Well done to all of our children you were brilliant!

  

• Polebrook takes Gold again!

  Tue 12 Dec 2017

  On Friday, Chris Long the School Sports Partnership Manager visited the school and in assembly awarded the school the Gold award for the third year running.
  This is rewarded for Polebrook taking part in lots of inter and intra school competitions and getting a high number of children involved in sport and who follow all the school games values. Well done Team Polebrook!      

  

• Cluster Orchestra Day

  Tue 28 Nov 2017

  On Thursday 23rd November eight of our pupils attended the first of this year's cluster orchestra rehearsals at Nassington and really enjoyed the challenge of playing alongside pupils from each of the primary schools in the cluster. More than 110 children took part and everyone's looking forward to further rehearsals in March and June when there will also be a concert for parents at St Peter's church in Oundle. The orchestra is now in its third year.

• Children in Need 2017

  Fri 17 Nov 2017

  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 £282 in just one day! It was a tremendous effort by all and really fun day for a great cause.  

  

• Cross Country Event

  Mon 02 Oct 2017

  Last Tuesday, Polebrook School attended the Cross Country Cluster Event at Prince William School in Oundle and had a roaring success! 

  Children from Year 1 to Year 6 represented Polebrook and faced gruelling races along the school field with three uphill challenges. The children refused to give up and supported not just one another but children from other schools too. Each child completed their race and some made it into the top 3! We are so proud of everybody who spent many playtimes training for this event, gave it all they had and were excellent ambassadors for our school. 

  

• Year 6 Pupils Perform at Symphony Hall

  Tue 18 Jul 2017

  Year six pupils in the dressing room ahead of their recent appearance at Symphony Hall, Birmingham on July 4th. 

   

  The music mentor, well-known music educator and composer Sarah Watts, commented that the original piece they performed, "Some Wild Tales", was very musical, well-structured and 'much enjoyed'. She described their performance as 'delightful' and noted that the children sang and played with 'some real energy'. 

  Polebrook was the only primary school from Northamptonshire to play in the Infant and Juniors category at the prestigious National Festival of Music for Youth . Our pupils were, as always,  a credit to the school not just in their performance but also in their behaviour and confident, positive attitude.
