Mayor talks to children about democracy and respect

The Mayor of Ipswich, Councillor Bill Quinton visited St Helen's as part of our work this term on "British Values".  The children were able to show a very good understanding of the importance of values such as democracy, freedom, respect and tolerance.  They also enjoyed talking to the Mayoress and Town Sergeant and looking at the town's mace and ceremonial sword.

Phase 4 Share Day

Parents and children in Years 5 and 6 enjoyed an afternoon of e-safety this week. Amongst the vast range of activities on offer, the children were able to build on their programming skills and creating flow charts to help decide which content they might use for their age group. 

"Artists in Residence" at St Helen's!

We love our new Ocean Phase mural so much that we just had to sit in the corridor and use our best descriptive language to write about it!
Many thanks to our wonderful "artists in residence", Luke McDonnell and Mike Evans for doing such a fantastic job for us!

Reception Library Visit

On world book day the reception classes went to Ipswich library. We saw this as an excellent opportunity to promote reading and Ipswich library. The children enjoyed a private tour, focusing on the children's book area. We even went in to the basement, and saw books that were over 100 years old. We finished the trip with a story and some songs. It was a really enjoyable afternoon. Thanks you to all the library staff who were all so welcoming.  Please find the article at the link below:
