Parc Eglos School, Helston, celebrates Queen's Jubilee in Cornwall

Headteacher Brett Dye asked the children how old the Queen was, and why were there celebrations about her. The children then stood up and sang their hearts out to Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webbers song "Sing" which was released in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen.

After the performance, Mr Dye said to the children: "Eighteen months ago due to the pandemic, we weren't allowed to sing with each other, how nice it is that we can all sing together now."

He went on to thank the kitchen staff for all the hard work they have done for preparing, baking and cooking all the food, with a round of applause from the pupils.

It was then time for a picnic. Kitchen staff had baked over 500 cupcakes for the children, with red, white and blue icing and were then placed in a Union Jack display. There was also sausage rolls, cheese baguettes, pizza and crisps for the children.

Some of the children decided to wear crowns they had made in their class, and the kitchen staff wore Union Jack hats, which everyone seemed to love.

Inside the school, the main hall had been decorated for the Jubilee with bunting placed all around. There was also a display on show with pictures of the Queen, her family and her husband Prince Philip, who passed away last year.

This included historic mugs with pictures of the Queen on that teaching assistant Trish had sourced on a selling site, but with the seller had kindly donated as it was for the school.
