The Royal Wedding

On Friday 29th April we celebrated the Royal Wedding. Before the big day we had a
lot of preparation to do. 

We designed invitations for everyone in P1C, P1F and P1A asking them to attend our
Royal Wedding celebrations.  
 

We made our own Union Jack flags.


We followed a recipe carefully to make shortbread. 


After looking at pictures of Prince William and Catherine Middleton's souvenir
plates we designed our own ones. 


We wrote lists of all the things that would have to be done before the wedding. 


Miss Corse set us 'The Big Cake Challenge'.  We worked in groups of four to make a big wedding cake.  We had to cut out all the pieces and then glue them in order.  It was important for us to speak to the other people in our group about the task and work as a team to be able to complete the challenge in the time we were given. 






Finally the big day arrived!  We all came to school very excited, wearing our special clothes and the wedding hats/headbands that we'd made for our homework task. 


In the morning, before the wedding, we had lots of different tasks to do with class 1F. 

We decorated our shortbread. 



We made beaded necklaces and flowers to wear.


Then it was time to watch the wedding.  We all gathered in Miss Falconer's room in time to see Kate arriving at Westminster Abbey.  We all thought she looked
beautiful in her dress. 


Then we ended our celebrations with some dancing in the activity area.  It was decorated with balloons and the bunting we had made earlier in the week. 

Easter Egg Hunt

On Good Friday we went on an egg hunt.  We had to search the playground, with our partner, to find 10 easter eggs.  All of the eggs had a sum on them.  When we found an egg we had to work out the answer and record it on our answer sheet. 

We really enjoyed finding the eggs and working out the answers with our partner.  Some of us thought this was the best maths lesson ever!
