The pupils marked the historic occasion by making bunting and hats, as well as writing personal messages to the Queen and taking part in a virtual London Bus tour.
As part of the event, the children learnt all about the Queen’s life and her Royal duties, and the school hosted a bake-off competition which received more than 100 entries from our supporting families.
