Coronation event and lunch

As part of our special Coronation celebrations we will be inviting Parents to join us at 9am on Thursday 4th May.  Weather permitting, we will be holding our Coronation outside on the playground. Children and parents will be asked to wear red, white and blue where possible and bring any flags they may have at home to wave on the day. Each class will be voting for a King and Queen who will be part of a short ceremony to launch the day. If your child is selected we will let you know so you can consider what you would like them to wear. We have robes and crowns in school which we will be using too. Following the National Anthem and lots of cheering we will continue activities throughout the morning in school and parents will be able to continue their day. We expect the ceremony to be finished by 9.45am at the latest. 
 
Morning activities will be followed by a Coronation picnic lunch.  The lunch will need to be ordered in advance using the lunch form. Children can of course bring their own packed lunch on the day too.  Please complete the form by Thursday 27th April confirming dinner options even if bringing a packed lunch.

Coronation Activity

Please see below a competition to design a card for the coronation, being run by James Cartlidge MP.

I am requesting that all local primary schools in South Suffolk ask their students to create a design that I could use for a card to send to the King, on behalf of my South Suffolk constituents, to wish him well on this historic occasion. The winning design would then be professionally printed on the front of the card and sent to the King at Buckingham Palace. Please may the designs be either A4 or A5 in size. I am afraid no glitter or 3D elements as the winning design will need to be scanned in order to be printed. I would be very grateful if you could send the student’s designs to me at the House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA by Monday 1st May 2023. Alternatively, designs can be emailed to me on this address if any of your pupils would prefer to create an electronic design.
