Jubilee Celebrations and Activities
We have already planted our trees for the Jubilee taking part in the 'Queen's Green Canopy' initiative, and classes have begun art activities, co-ordinated by Mrs Cowburn, to contribute to a whole school artwork aligned with the Jubilee 'River of Hope' art competition.
We are now busy finalising planning and organisation for a variety of Jubilee events and activities for the children in the three days before half-term (Mon 23rd - Wed 25th). Please find details of some of these below; we hope you will be able to provide help from home with some aspects.
1. PTA 'The Great Swavesey School Jubilee Bake Off' Competition - as you will know we had to postpone our traditional 'Bake Off' in October, and so we will start our festivities off on Monday 23rd May with a Jubilee special. Children are invited to enter the competition by bringing in cupcakes and/or biscuits with a Jubilee design. These will be judged on the designs and sold at the end of the day to raise funds for the PTA.
Please see the competition poster for further details by clicking here.
2. Dressing Up Day and an Afternoon Street Party - On Monday 23rd children are invited to dress up following the theme of 'British Royalty' or in 'red, white and blue' for the day. In the afternoon, we will be holding our own 'street party' in the school playground with a costume parade, games and party snacks.
3. 'If I were the Queen I would....' whole school writing project - children across the whole school will be joining in with creating their own decrees if they were 'the Queen'. We may share some of their thoughts and ideas more widely in future newsletters!
4. Special Jubilee Assembly - On Wednesday 25th May, we will be holding a special Jubilee assembly where we will be learning more about the Queen's Jubilee and celebrating our endeavours together with a special visitor.
