Pupils at Sidmouth Primary School learn about coronations

Children across the school took part in a range of activities. This included letter-writing, crownmaking, lessons focused on the history of Coronations and much more.

On Friday, the school wore Coronation-themed fancy dress and took part in a party at the school.

The school also coloured-in pictures of the King's head - as you can see in the photo gallery.

Here is a selection of poems from five year 2 classes at Sidmouth Primary School.

The King’s Treasure Box - By Rowena Selby, aged 7.

I will put in the box some crowns and jewels 

I will put in the box the King’s gold rings 

I will put in the box some diamonds and crowns 

My box is made of gold and metal 

I will put it in a safe to protect it and do a secret code 

 The King’s Treasure Box - By Owen Gingell, aged 7 

I will put in the box a jewel, sparkly crown 

I will put in the box a big puffy seat 

My box is made of long metal.  

I will write to the King 

 The King’s Treasure Box - By Ben Vincent, aged 7

I will put in the box pearls and shiny, gold crowns and a sparkly, gem necklace 

I will put in the box some shiny, gold cufflinks and a silvery sword 

I will put in the box a diamond and gold St Edward’s crown of all crowns 

My box is made of the shiniest gold, silver and platinum 

I will lock it up in London tower 

The King’s Treasure Box - By Emily Preston, aged 7

I will put in the box a gold crown, it was sparkly 

I will put in the box gold money, it was shiny 

I will put in the box a gold glass drink with gold water inside 

My box is made with colour and pattern 

I will lock my box in my room, in the closet 

The King’s Treasure Box - By Florence Sayles, aged 7

I will put in the box some golden coins, all my armour 

I will put in the box the last of the round chain, the sound of a bird’s song 

I will put in the box my royal art supplies, my royal crown and royal pets with their things 

My box is made of gold, silver, and wood, with gold all around the back 

I will put it in my secret maze, inside the compartment of it, protected by a monster
