Dear Parent / Guardian,

As you are aware, we will be celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June. This is a special UK holiday and all schools will close on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd June.

To celebrate this, we will be having a number of special events in school on Wednesday 1st June.

Our dining hall has sent out invitations today for a special Jubilee lunch (on the back of our May newsletter) and we will have a number of whole school events organised by our School Council as well as activities planned in each class by the teachers. I have some special visitors and surprise treats arranged for the day.

We would also love the children to get involved by dressing up. P1-P3 are invited to come to school as “Princes and Princesses” and P4-P7 as “Kings and Queens”. These can be any king or queen throughout history. This is for fun and is optional, but I encourage you to get your thinking hats on and be creative at home in making some crowns, costumes, etc. Please don’t go to any extra expense for this.

This is a once-in-a- lifetime occasion and we look forward to celebrating together in Victoria Park Primary School.

 

Mrs Gourley.
