weighed and stamped before going outside to the post box where Mrs Bundy helped them to post the letter.
Lavendon School held a themed week in celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. On Thursday 9th February children and staff were asked to come to school dressed up as Royalty. There were some highly imaginative outfits, some of them from the staff! The children made bunting to decorate the school hall for the ‘street party’ lunch. When the decoration was finished the hall looked fantastic. The whole school ate together along with the staff.
On the 1st of March, Class 2 received a reply to their letters from Buckingham Palace. Susan Hussey Lady-in-Waiting wrote that the Queen said thank you for the letters and the good wishes sent from the children for her Diamond Jubilee. She said that the Queen was interested to know that the children had been learning about the Royal Family. The Queen finished by saying she was very glad to hear from the children and Mrs Bundy.
