As they rushed outside and filmed the wreckage, a female extra-terrstrial appeared.

Head teacher Gregory Hill said: 'We had an out of this world experience by having an alien crash land on our school field.

'There was wreckage everywhere and year three pupils with iPads were rushed out of assembly to view the crash site and document it. As they studied the wreckage an alien emerged. The alien helped pupils learn about our Solar System and they showed it around the school. They named her Amy the Alien.'

As part of a space-themed day, the pupils also enjoyed a visit by Norfolk astronomer and former NASA employee Rod Stevenson.

Year three pupils built rockets and launched them from the field. Mr Stevenson brought along some rockets and space gear for them to see.
