THERE was plenty of fun in the sunshine as pupils at a Wokingham school celebrated the Platinum Jubilee.
Primary school aged children at Chiltern Way Academy held a street party in their gardens, enjoying a feast of traditional party food. They even raised their Union flag festooned cups to toast The Queen.
And secondary school aged children at the Gipsy Lane learning establishment were able to take part in an afternoon of games including bubble football, egg and spoon races, rounders and team building activities.
A special visit from ice cream maker extraordinaire, Sir Whippy, and a Union Flag cake was, well, the icing on the cake.
The school’s acting head, Charlene Martin, said the pupils had loved the day.
“This is such a great event for us all, being able to come together as a community and celebrate a spectacular part of our history – our British history, as well as our history as Chiltern Way Academy,” she said.
“The pupils have had an amazing time. They’ve really been looking forward to it for the past couple of weeks.
“They really wanted to wear red, white and blue to represent the Union Flag, and compete in the Jubilee games event.”
