A HEREFORDSHIRE primary school is featuring on BBC News this morning.

Reporter Fiona Lamdin joined children at Hereford's Broadlands Primary School this morning as they put on a celebration party to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee just before 8am today (May 27).

 

 

Pupils at the school were shown playing games, decorating plates, and being read stories by 'the Queen', otherwise known as classroom assistant Jenny. 

Pupils showed off the work they have done this term looking at the Queen's 70-year reign, including Liam, who said his favourite fact about the queen was that she had owned 30 corgis, and William, who showed viewers his project on music of the 1960s.

Gabby in year six said she had been learning about the 1950s, including the food of the day.

"They had Spam but it was covered in batter, it was really gross!" she said.

The school also treated viewers to a rendition of 'Sing' by the children of the choir.

Class teacher Sarah told the BBC that children had enjoyed a visit from the mayor, and had taken part in a special assembly and whole school tea party to celebrate the milestone.

"We just wanted to do something special for the children," she said.
