Portpatrick pupils have been busy this week celebrating the coronation of King Charles III.
Earlier in the week, pupils learned all about the coronation of a monarch – from the very first coronation taking place in Bath in 973AD, to what will happen during the ceremony tomorrow.
Today, pupils came to school looking very patriotic, dressed in red, white and blue. Some even came with Union Jack capes, hats, hair braids and head boppers on! In the morning, we put our maths skills into action and baked some delicious scones, which we enjoyed later in the day with jam and cream.
After we had enjoyed our delicious buffet lunch kindly prepared by Kim, we made some dazzling crowns and Union Jack flags. We coronated our very our King and Queen of Portpatrick Primary (Jack and Katie!). After they both gave an oath to look after everyone in Portpatrick, the Archbishop of Canterbury (AKA Lacey) anointed the King and Queen with some Portpatrick holy water; they were given the sceptre and the orb; and then they were crowned. The whole school then headed through the village in a procession, waving at locals and visitors as we went!
To end the day, parents were invited to pop into the hall to watch our special performance of “I Just Can’t Wait to be King!”
We had a brilliant day full of Coronation fun!
