On 6th May, we were delighted to welcome 20 students from across KS3 to the library for our Coronation Tea Party.

The students involved were all competition winners who had designed invitations to the coronation for their favourite book character. It was a truly fantastic afternoon, with students getting involved with some literacy-bases coronation activities, playing Royal Bingo and even posing for ‘selfies’ in our royal selfie frame.

Ms. Dixon came to look at the winning entries and was very impressed with the standard!

In their Key Stage 3 English lessons, students have been learning about the upcoming King’s Coronation by looking back at the Queen’s coronation in 1953 along with some of the traditional elements and modern adjustments which will make up Saturday’s ceremony. As part of this, we have considered the connotations of royalty, and the role of the monarch, and begun to think of how King Charles’ reign may differ from that of Queen Elizabeth II. We have been preparing to celebrate this historic occasion by creating coronation collages, hanging bunting, and writing newspaper articles. Our students have thoroughly enjoyed the activities. Well done to all who have contributed to our amazing decorative corridor!
