Coronation costumes at our celebration
Members of royalty mingled in the playground when Marden Lodge celebrated the King’s Coronation.
Children and staff alike came to school on Friday 5 May dressed as royalty, or sporting patriotic red, white and blue, for a day of themed activities which included making their own Coronation keepsakes.
Our children also enjoyed a Coronation lunch and ended the day with a special whole-school assembly.
Deputy Headteacher Malinda Young said: “It’s a historic occasion, and one that most of our school community have never seen within their lifetime, therefore it is important for us to mark the occasion.”
Other GLF schools celebrating the Coronation included Manor Primary School, where the children enjoyed an RAF fly past, Windmill Primary School, where they buried a time capsule, and Floreat Montague Park, where a commemorative tree was planted.
At Danetree Primary School, the children took part in a King’s Parade, while at Salfords Primary, and Warren Mead, the children dressed as royalty for the day, and at Frogmore Junior School they posed for photographs with a life-size cut-out of the King.
Glyn School’s celebrations included a Coronation Staff Bake Off competition, and Cordwalles Junior School’s children each received a commemorative medal, while children at Pine Ridge and Lorraine wore red, white and blue, and at Banstead Infants they took part in the Big Help Out.
