Anthony Curton Primary in Walpole St Peter welcomes lambs and classical music
An exciting week at a primary school saw students get some very special opportunities.
Every year at lambing time, the deputy head of the Anthony Curton School in Walpole St Peter, Jeremy Wilkinson, brings his sheep in to see the children.
The pupils thoroughly enjoy getting to see the sheep and lambs - and love learning about the process of feeding and caring for them.
Head teacher Dawn Liddle said: "Farming is an important focus in the news at the moment, so we feel it is important to teach the children about it.
“Farming and food can provide valuable life lessons for our children, helping them develop important skills and values.
“By taking care of animals, children can learn about responsibility and the importance of caring for living things."
Meanwhile, the school also welcomed back classical pianist Siobhain O'Higgins.
Youngsters again immersed themselves in a morning of wonderful music.
Siobhain took the cover off the top of the front of her piano so the children could see how the parts move and vibrate to create sounds.
Some budding ballerinas came in and danced as she played, while the other children were invited to play the music they had learnt.
The visit was made possible thanks to Classical Music Rocks, a charity that brings live classical music to the children of West Norfolk.
Their aim is to inspire a desire to listen to the genre.
Some ways they do this is by providing free concerts for children in historic venues and encouraging children to learn to play an instrument.
