Primary school children have received jubilee mugs which will remind them of the fun they had at the Queen’s 70th anniversary celebrations.
Pupils at St Nicholas Primary in Hurst were presented with the mugs by Paul Palmer of Hurst Parish Council last Friday.
Paul, who still has his own Queen’s 25th jubilee mug, was a pupil at St Nicholas at the time of the silver anniversary.
The presentations were made at the school’s jubilee celebrations last Friday. The children sang songs from the different decades of the Queen’s reign and remembered events during that time.
The whole school joined together for the official jubilee song, Rise Up and Serve.
The school’s charity is The Link Visiting Scheme, a charity dedicated to reducing loneliness in Wokingham borough. Among the audience last Friday were friends of the charity and also its volunteers. People who volunteer at the school and school governors also attended.
Acting headteacher Sarah Hilling told the guests: “Our children have worked so hard and had so much fun learning the songs, especially the jubilee song.”
The children later enjoyed a picnic with their parents on the school field. They also sang to their parents.
Hurst Parish Council, sponsored by Stanlake Park Wine Estate, is organising many jubilee events from today (Thursday, June 2) to Sunday (June 5).
