Jubilee Celebration Day
Fri 27 May 2022We have had a wonderful Jubilee celebration day today with a host of wonderful activities! Each Year group has been learning about a different decade in the Queen's 70 year reign and also learnt a song from that decade. Everything from "How much is that doggy in the window? (1950's) to "500 miles" -The Proclaimers (1980's!)
We have been blown away by the standard of entries and creativity for our portrait competition and the regal crown competition. Well done to 4B for their amazing collaborative art work of the Queen consisting of 32 different sections.
Thank you also to all our parents and friends that have joined us today for our cream tea afternoon- the sun shone for us. We hope that you all have a wonderful half term and we look forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday 6th June.
Best wishes, Mr Chamberlain and the team at Olton.
