The Diamond Jubilee

On Thursday we celebrated the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. We all came to school dressed in red, white and blue. I was very impressed by some of the creative outfits!

We started the day with a special assembly, where we were each presented with a commemorative coin, and a Union Jack flag by the mayor of Ashby Woulds-Sue McKendrick. (We were also very honoured, to later find out, that Sue McKendrick had voted for us in the education blog awards!)

After the assembly we returned to class to take part in a mixture of jubilee activities; we wrote poems, designed our own commemorative coins and stamps, organised timelines of the Queen's life and made model Grenadier Guards.

Finally, in the afternoon the whole school got together for a celebration tea party. The school hall had been fabulously decorated, and everybody in school had worked together to provide plenty of food. We all had an amazing time, and I am sure that it was a day we will all remember!
