Throughout the week the children carried out various activities which enabled them to learn more about our reigning monarch. For example, some children explored the Queen's family tree and a timeline of major events throughout her life.
There were lots of Art and DT activities going on throughout the week. This included a wonderful ceramics workshop where the children got to decorate a plate with the Queen's official stamp. Each class also created a portrait of the Queen at a specific time in her life, they used famous artists as inspiration.
To conclude our celebrations we had our very own party at the end of the week; each class shared their amazing work in our 'Royal Variety Show' and the kitchen prepared a traditional British lunch of fish and chips. The whole school ate outside and enjoyed some party games after.
