It’s the final day of out Really BIG READ ALOUD…and today to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee… it’s the really BIG ROYAL READ ALOUD!
We have been sharing all sorts of books and stories with a Royal theme.
Younger pupils have been enjoying ‘The Princess and the Pea’, ‘The Laughing princess’ and ‘The Twelve Dancing Princesses’.
The Primary One pupils took part in a paired read aloud. They had to find a reading partner with the same colour of crown.
If you want to find out more about kings and queens, we have some non- fiction books about royalty in our library.
We have a copy of King George V Silver Jubilee book in our library.
King George V was the Queen’s grandfather and this book was published in 1935(about the time our school was being built!) to celebrate his Silver Jubilee. It’s not in very good condition but it is 87 years old!!
It has some interesting photographs including ones of the Queen when she was a girl. 
Perhaps you have some old books at home? Can you find out when they were published?
Have a great Jubilee weekend and remember to keep reading!
