Over the next two weeks the children will be focusing their history lessons on learning about The Queen and each year group will be studying a particular decade from her 70-year reign. The children from each year group will then present information from each decade to the rest of the school.

The School Council have come up with some lovely ideas for a Parkhead Street Party on the afternoon of Thursday 26 May to commemorate this special event.

All of the children are invited to come into school wearing either ‘royal clothes’ or red, white and blue. We will be having an afternoon tea, traditional games, a royal ‘photo booth’ and royal raffle and tombola. As part of the celebrations we are also holding a portrait competition with children from across the school each producing a portrait of The Queen.

The school council would be happy to receive any donations of sweets, chocolates and small games to offer as raffle and tombola prizes.

A huge thank you to SPLAT who were successful in receiving a community grant of £500 from Sir James Knott Trust which will support us greatly with our celebrations.
