3DRB celebrated 'International Rabbit Day' on 27th September 2023, to mark this we created our own 3D rabbits. Each child in the tutor group put their own spin on their rabbits and were very happy with how they turned out!
An Unexpected Employer Encounter
Today was a 1st in Polygon School history. Our playground became a landing pad for the Air Ambulance service. They were responding to an incident in the city centre and we were the quickest access point.
When the excitement died down the Pilot and returning Paramedics were kind enough to let our pupils have a look at the helicopter and answered some questions about their job and what they do.
We were happy to be a landing pad for them and they took off after completing their call out. They pupils all behaved exceptionally during the arrival and departure in this "Once in a lifetime" moment and we were proud of the maturity they all showed.
