Pupils at Bratton Primary School gathered on the school field to watch a Gazelle helicopter land on the last day of term.
Each class had the opportunity to get up close to helicopter and learn about how it flys from the crew.
Two lucky raffle winners were able to sit in the helicopter, and all proceedings went to Julia’s House.
Headteacher Ian Bolton said: “The helicopter received a round of applause and energised waves goodbye as it roared back over our heads.
“This has been a unique experience for the children and has helped raise a lot of money for the causes supported by the Gazelle Squadron Display Team, such as Julia’s House Children’s Hospice and Blesma, who support wounded veterans.
“Once again a massive thank you to the parent for facilitating this visit and to the Gazelle Squadron Display team who came on the day and made it so memorable for all.”
