Year 6 fully embraced the Platinum Jubilee last week. Dressed in red, white and blue, they showed enthusiasm for dear Elizabeth II and enjoyed celebrating during their Platinum Jubilee picnic lunch. In constructing Royal family trees, everyone learnt how the Queen ascended to the throne and who is going to succeed her. In recognising the importance of the Commonwealth to the history of our nation, we spent time learning about the evolution of the Commonwealth, comparing and contrasting it to the British Empire that preceded it. All pupils recognised the importance of the Commonwealth today and its role in fostering international relationships and trade links. Given that we are thinking about equality this week, we were delighted to learn that the Commonwealth Games are fully inclusive for people with disabilities.
But remember - there are certain things you must never do in front of her majesty - including using slang and speaking French!
We also got back into the swing of our writing this week, starting writing newspaper reports about valuable British artefacts stolen from the nation's museums! Headlines included "Perfect Painting Pinched!" and "Priceless Pot Pilfered!"
We cannot wait to continue this week as we see what further speculation there is about the whereabouts of the items!
