Theddlethorpe Academy pupils received trophies and rosettes to thank them for a stunning display of work to mark The Queen’s 70-year reign on the throne.

The poems, hearts and stories depicting what The Queen means to the pupils are displayed at Theddlethorpe Village Hall until after the Jubilee weekend.

The presentation of awards took place during a spectacular Jubilee Party for the children and their parents and carers, which included songs, games and ice creams in the Academy grounds on the last day of half-term.

Local councillor Carl Richardson acted as DJ for the afternoon, taking to the decks to keep the music pumping across the playground, which was filled with fairground stalls and play activities.

The pupils from Nursery to Year 6 also sang a round of Jubilee songs, including ‘The National Anthem,’ as proud parents watched in the sunshine.

Teaching Assistant Shirley Nicholson was dressed in red, white and blue for the Jubilee, and parents said the afternoon was “a lovely way to end the term and celebrate the Queen’s incredible reign.”

“It is so lovely and everyone has enjoyed themselves,” said one mum.

The trophies and rosettes were presented to the children by Village Jubilee Committee members, Maggie Kujawa and Andrea Spink. Maggie said: “The children made it really hard for us to choose winners because the standard of work was so good. It looks amazing in the Village Hall.”

The winners were: Foundation: Class trophy Jake; class rosette Ronny. Year 1 and 2: Trophy Bernice; rosettes Dylan, Freddie and Bailey. Year 3 and 4: Trophy Phoebe; rosettes Rebecca, Jace and Charlie. Year 5 and 6: Trophy Addison and Charlie; rosettes Harry and Elliott.

Susan Cook, Principal of Theddlethorpe Academy, said the afternoon had been a great success.

“The children have worked extremely hard on their Jubilee projects and today’s Jubilee Party has been a lovely, relaxing and fun time for them all. I want to thank all of the parents and carers for coming along to support us.”
