Heritage Week

We started the new term with Heritage Week. This week coincided with the biggest royal event of the decade, the marriage of Kate and Prince William and also St George's Day. The children were immersed in activities that celebrated our heritage. We read about St George and the dragon and found out what he might have worn all those years ago.

We were delighted to see so many royal guests at our Royal Garden Party. I have never seen so many Princes, Princesses, Kings and Queens enjoying themselves at a traditional British fayre.





The day was filled with all the fun and excitement of a village fete, with stalls to entertain the royal guests. The stalls included Pin The Tail On The Donkey,





Splat The Rat,




Coconut Shy,




and Hoopla.





The afternoon was time for feasting. Our Royal Banquet included traditional British food including cucumber sandwiches, Victoria sponge, jam sandwiches, scones and tea cakes. For dessert we all enjoyed jelly followed by a cup of tea. During the banquet we listened to music of the Coldstream Guards with the final tune of God Save The Queen.












What a colourful start to our term!
