Tea Party with the Queen!

We have had a fantastic start to our new ‘Bright Lights, Big City’ topic. On Tuesday we came dressed in our best party clothes because we had been invited to a tea party with the Queen. We spent the morning making ham, cheese and jam sandwiches with little flags in, we made bunting to decorate and also learned about the role of the Queen and the Royal family. In the afternoon the hall was all set up for our afternoon tea and the Queens arrival, we even made her a throne and a red carpet. We had cups and saucers laid out and lots of the children tried tea with their sandwiches and party rings. The Queen couldn’t stay for the whole afternoon because she is very busy and her driver was waiting but after that we went outside for games. The games included cricket, croquet, hoopla, skipping, skittles and welly tossing.
