• Friday 5 May 2023 Flying high for the Coronation What an exciting week we have been having here in school with preparations for the big Coronation party in full swing. On Wednesday we enjoyed the special coronation fly past from RAF Benson. We think we managed to create the shape of a crown on the playground so it will be interesting to see the aerial photographs that were taken from the Puma that circled our playground waving to the children. Some of the children were convinced that the King was actually in the helicopter waving to them!

They were invited to Prince Charming's Ball in the hall where they were treated to some fizz, crisps and cookies. They also learned how to waltz and took their partners for a spin around the dance floor as though they were on Strictly Come Dancing; subjecting themselves to some rather harsh judging! They played games and dressed up in their smart clothes. It was a joyous afternoon with lots of laughter.
