The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations in Year 3

Posted on by • 0 Comments

We have really enjoyed learning all about the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in Year 3. We have took part in lots of activities to learn about this special event. We looked at the Queen’s reign so far since 1952 and we learnt about the immediate Royal Family. We also zoomed in on the Queen’s reign during the 1980’s. We listened to music from the 1980’s and also completed a time line of key events for the Royal Family during the 1980s. We have produced our own collages and are looking forward to celebrating with a Jubilee Picnic.
