A visit from Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip

Yesterday we were very excited to be heading to the Cathedral (some of us for the very first time!) to greet Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip as they arrived to see the Diamond Jubilee window. All week, we had been practicing what to say if the Queen spoke to us and working hard to make our flags so that we could wave them for the Queen.

We set off with our Year 6 helpers, who spoke to us about Road Safety and how important it is that we cross the road carefully.

When we arrived we waited excitedly in the courtyard until the Queen made her arrival. She looked beautiful in her purple hat and coat. We cheered and waved our flags. While she was inside the Cathedral we sang songs, did some exercises to keep warm and talked to each other.

When she came back outside we cheered again and waved to the Queen. Prince Phillip even stopped and had a chat to Sara about how clever we all were!

In the afternoon, we drew some pictures of the Queen and Prince Phillip. We had a day that we won’t forget for a very long time!
