5th May - Coronation Celebration Day
The children and staff came to school wearing either red, white or blue or all three if they wished to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III. The children learnt about the Coronation, the Monarchy and British Values. During assembly, the children sang the National Anthem.
All children were invited to make a crown at home to wear for the day to celebrate the Coronation. We were amazed at some of the wonderful and creative examples our families made. Prizes were awarded in classes for the winning crowns. Maryam in Year 5 said, ” I made my beautiful hat with my father. It was lovely to have some family time. I was surprised and shocked that I won!”
On Friday, the kitchen prepared a special Coronation lunch for the children. Burhan in Year 3 said, ” It was a magnificent lunch to help us celebrate the Coronation. The hall was decorated with flags and the kitchen staff dressed up too!”
