Royal roots at Floreat Montague Park

​A tree was planted to commemorate the King’s Coronation at a celebration held today (Friday) at Floreat Montague Park Primary School, a member of GLF Schools

Dressed in traditional red, white and blue to mark the occasion, the children spent the morning planting daffodil bulbs and sunflower seeds, as well as the special tree, which was planted in honour of the King.

​They also made their own sandwiches and decorated biscuits ready for the afternoon’s tea party, where the King’s health was toasted, and the children enjoyed a dance in the school’s specially decorated hall.

In addition to enjoying the activities on the day, the children spent the weeks leading up to the Coronation creating a timeline to give context to the event.
​
“This is such a historic event that we created our own timeline following events from the King’s birth to the present day,” explained Assistant Headteacher Sandie Gordon. “It was important for our children to see a framework for understanding and organising this historical period.”
