Holy Cross celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee 2022
The children and staff had a fantastic day celebrating a piece of history. They celebrated the Queen’s 70 years as our monarch. We mixed the children up so there were children from each class in each group and they worked together to take part in Jubilee activities, had a street party lunch on the playground, sang the National Anthem, prayed for the Queen, had Jubilee cake and listened to the Queen’s favourite hymn during our whole school photo. Congratulations to Her Majesty!

Monarchy Day 2021
At the beginning of the year, we had planned to mark what would have been Prince Philip’s 100th birthday with a monarchy day to learn all about the British monarchy and The Royal Family. Although he recently sadly passed away, we still marked this day. The youngest children learnt about our current monarch, and then each class the monarch before that, starting with Queen Elizabeth II in Class Reception and ending with King George IV in Class 6. We shared our learning in our assembly. Well done, Miss Duong.
