The Kings Security Team (Summer 2025)
The children were introduced to someone very important; they were wearing a crown and robe and had a guard on either side. Who could they be? The children discussed their ideas and decided that it must be the king! The children already knew some things; that the main role of the king is to protect and look after the country, that he is a very important man and that he wears gold and jewels. The children explored the different places the kings face is found- on stamps, bank notes and coins- and a picture of the king at his coronation! They then used this knowledge to label a picture of King Charles III
Next, the children learnt all about the kings coronation and watched a video of his crowning. They discussed the feelings and thoughts he might have been having at that moment; nervous, anxious, proud, excited, happy, etc. The children then wrote down the thoughts of the king in thought bubbles.
After, the children focused on the kings crown and used descriptive words to write a sentence and design their own crowns!
