St Paul’s School has seen a hive of activity in the run-up to Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, with all children having taken part in learning activities this week centred around the Queen’s seventy-year reign. The learners were hooked into this topic through the arrival of a copy of the children’s picture book, ‘The Queen’s Hat’.
The children at Hebrew Primary School held a street party to commemorate Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee as part of the school’s wider Jubilee celebrations. They have been working collaboratively on several displays and art projects, bake-offs, as well as researching the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II, in the weeks leading up to the Jubilee. This culminated in a whole school event that filled Bomb House Lane with colour, pomp, music and pageantry largely from the artwork produced by the children. Glorious sunshine bathed the bountiful table set out by the Parent’s Association, a very hard working group of individuals that toiled late into the night in support of the event. Children were treated to a variety of healthy snacks and sandwiches, drinks and ice pops to enjoy in the presence of Minister Cortes, who joined in the celebrations along with them. Indeed one staff member brought in flags that had actually flown in Gibraltar on the Queen’s actual coronation date in 1952, adding a splash of historical relevance to the event. The children brought proceedings to an end with a hearty “Three Cheers” in honour of Her Majesty the Queen!
