Yesterday, we took every child in KS2 to see Starlight Express at Wembley theatre. We had an absolutely fantastic time! The children behaved so well, with many members of the public approaching us to say how wonderful they were. The show was brilliant and full of energy, and the children were in awe of all of the colours, sounds and special effects. We are so proud to be able to take the children for this important experience, and feel doubly lucky that we were able to see the performance before it closes in early May!
We are thrilled to announce that our Year 5 children have successfully completed their Bikeability training this week! The children have worked hard to learn the road safety rules and navigate the busy roads (and railway crossing) of Helpston! Well done Year 5!
Year 5 had a brilliant visit to the Astra Zencca Inspiration Lab in Cambridge yesterday. The children were immersed in real, hands-on science activities, and had a guided walk through the Discovery Centre, observing researchers and scientists at work.

What a brilliant day for Year 6 in London visiting Madam Tussauds and Regents Park to support our learning in History and PSHE. We took a record number of photos, the children were amazing and we all absolutely loved it. Topped off with a lovely lunch in Pizza Express as well as exploring the fantastic St Pancras station. Thank you Year 6 for a beautiful day
