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!

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!

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.

Year 5/6 PGL Residential

Wed 05 Apr 2017

Polebrook and Easton Garford School teamed up last week to go on an exciting residential at PGL in Wales. It was full of exciting outdoor activities including abseiling, kayaking, mountain trails and much more!

The children and staff had an amazing time and each day was as full on as the one before. Activities started at 9.20am and finished at approximately 5pm each evening. We stayed on a lovely farm overlooking the Welsh countryside, with a large field which was perfect for playing outdoor games.

The activites were amazing. Some of the children's favourites included: Jacob's ladder, the zipwire and aeroball. Some children (and staff) overcame their fears during the activities and the support for each other to complete each activity was fantastic.

Overall the residential was a tremendous success, the staff at PGL were so impressed with our group that we had a reputation around the site for being one of the best behaved groups! Well donev everybody!

New Beats Concert

Fri 17 Mar 2017

Polebrook were very lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy a concert by the New Beats band who are one of the NMPAT recital teams.

The band consisted of musicians playing the drums, bass, guitar, piano and a fantastic singing performing some well known songs whilst asking the children if they spotted any changes they had made to the songs. The children really enjoyed listening to the music and there was certainly some dancing and singing along in the audience!

After the concert, Purple Class attended a workshop with the band where they created their own song using a music app to record vocals and instruments. It was a fantastic experience and we are hoping they return soon!
