Wow!! What a fantastic morning we have had celebrating the Queen's Jubilee. We dressed up as members of the Royal Family - Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and Prince Edward. Some of us were the footman and some were the Queen's horses. The whole school walked in a parade with Throston school cheering us on all the way. When we got back to school we had a picnic lunch outside and played lots of games. God Save Our Queen!!!
We have been doing lots of different activities in school and with Throston Primary to celebrate The Queen's Jubilee. Here are some photos of us making stamps and visiting Throston School to make a beautiful floral silhouette of The Queen.
