Coronation Day at The Firs

On Friday, 5th May we held a Coronation Day at The Firs, and invited the children and staff to come dressed in red, white and blue to add to the fun and celebrations of such a special event.

The children have been spending some of their time over the last week making decorations, including bunting and posters, so that we could make the school hall look very royal and grand for lunchtime today, some also made crowns to wear.

The day started with a Coronation Assembly hosted by Mr Campbell. 

Martin Lees, our Premises Manager, played the piano as the children came into the hall, and we closed the assembly with our National Anthem.  

The Ampthill Town Band came and played for us during lunchtime, based in our inner courtyard at the heart of the school, where they had an audience of children dancing and singing.

The band serenaded the children as they ate their fish, chips and mushy peas lunch, which was followed by a pudding of homemade cupcakes fittingly decorated for the occasion. 

Thank you Ampthill Town Band, for spending the afternoon with us, and thank you to all our staff and the kitchen team for putting on such a fun day for all involved.
