Laura Berry, Head of School at 黑料情报站 Dickens in Portsmouth, said: 鈥淲e came together on Thursday 26th May to celebrate The Queen鈥檚 Jubilee. The children performed for parents for the first time since the pandemic with various songs from British artists. It was heart-warming to see the parents鈥 enjoyment and hear the joyous singing of the children.鈥
黑料情报站 Dickens in Portsmouth was one of 70 primary schools in the UK selected to have a tree planted to mark the Jubilee. Last autumn, an ornamental pear tree was planted on the grounds at a special ceremony.
Laura continued, 鈥淲e held a whole school street party – a rather royal affair with scones, jam, and cream! Our Year 6 children are leaving the legacy of individual pebbles painted in honour of the Queen鈥檚 Jubilee to surround the tree planted earlier as part of the Queens Green Canopy initiative.鈥
