Pupils from Charlton Horethorne Primary enjoyed a cream tea organised by the PTA and parents, and held a design a stamp competition, which was won by Harry, Ottilie and Mangir.

The children at Shaftesbury Primary School had a super time celebrating the King’s Coronation. They made crowns and flags, learnt the Coronation song, and sang the national anthem. The children then enjoyed a picnic lunch in their classrooms (due to the rain!)

Pupils at St Andrew’s Primary in Fontmell Magna celebrated with a lunch ‘fit for a king’ while wearing their red, white and blue outfits. They sang to families at the end of the day accompanied by keyboard and trumpet plays with a coronation song and a rousing rendition of the national anthem; in true British style they sang on through the rain. All the children created coronation artwork which was displayed for all to enjoy at The Springhead Trust. There were portraits of pupils as young kings and queens, designs for the royal carriage, and abstract pictures of the King.

Children at St Andrew’s Primary School in Yetminster had an afternoon of forest school arts and crafts in honour of the Coronation, including painting flags and crowns and cooking drop scones.
