Monarch Day 2021

Holy Cross Monarch Day At the beginning of the year, we had planned to mark what would have been Prince Philip’s 100th birthday with a monarchy day to learn all about the British monarchy and The Royal Family. Although he recently sadly passed away, we still marked this day. The youngest children learnt about our current monarch, and then each class the monarch before that, starting with Queen Elizabeth II in Class Reception and ending with King George IV in Class 6. We shared our learning in our assembly. Well done, Miss Duong.

Monarchy Day in Class 5 We learnt about King William IV. We used our shading skills to create a portrait of him and then used facts to decorate a crown. Miss Hornsby

Monarchy Day in Class 2 We had a great day learning about King George V and King Edward VIII, who abdicated after less than a year. This meant that his younger brother George became King George VI. We learnt that he is the Queen’s dad and that if King Edward VIII had not abdicated, we wouldn’t have the Royal Family we have today. We learnt the meaning of specific words; abdicated, coronated, reign, monarch and had a fantastic day learning all about The Royal Family. Miss Duong.
