Heroes of Troy

In the two days before the last day of term, we held our annual school production. This year, to fit with our school topic on Ancient Greece, we performed the BBC musical Heroes of Troy.

It was received very well by the three audiences who came to watch. In case you didn't get a chance to see it, or, for the children, to see what it looked like from the audience's perspective, please enjoy looking at the photographs. There are some from rehearsals, some from the dress rehearsal and some from the performance, as well as a few behind-the-scenes shots.

Thanks to Simon Garrett for the photos of the performance, and Mrs Exton for the backstage shots!

Sports Day

Today's Sports Day was a huge success. It was great to see so many families coming together to support their children in the field and track events. A big thank you to Mrs Barker for returning to organise the event for us, and also to the ladies of the PTFA who provided drinks and biscuits for children and parents half-way through the afternoon.

Congratulations to the Green Team on a fantastic win!


I hope you enjoy looking through the photographs as much as I have.

Batty About Bats!

We came in to school this morning to find a bat lying on the floor in Red Class. After a bit of research, Mrs Exton identified it as a common pipistrelle. The Bat Conservation Trust picked up our furry flying friend this evening to release it safely back into the wild.

Alton Water

On Tuesday, Year 6 pupils from Earl Soham, Helmingham and Bedfield schools enjoyed a day of water sports at Alton Water activity centre in Ipswich. The children took part in windsurfing, sailing and kayaking. We were lucky with the weather and had glorious sunshine during the activities. The heavy rain held off until we were safely on the coach going home.

It was a great day with lots of fun had by all.

Piano and Recorder Concert

On Monday, the children who have been learning Piano and Recorder took the stage and performed in front of an audience of parents and peers.

It was a beautiful concert, and quite an emotional one, as siblings performed duets together. Thank you to Alice, their teacher, for organising the concert and all your hard work leading up to it.
