Platinum Jubilee Celebrations.

Staff and pupils welcomed families and guests from our community, on Thursday 9th June, to join us in celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Celebrations began by planting four trees in our school playing field, as part of the Queen's Green Tree Canopy Scheme.  These trees will offer shade and wonderment to our children and children of future generations; in addition to being a fabulous enhancement to our school environment.   The four trees were Birch, Poplar, Beech and Hornbeam. The children enthusiastically sang a song especially written for the platinum jubilee; a commemorative plaque was put in place and Reverend Brook blessed the trees.  This was followed by all the children being presented with personalised platinum jubilee mugs; which were most generously given by the Lydford village jubilee fundraising group. The National Anthem was played and celebrations were brought to a close by everyone enjoying delicious home baked cakes, buns and biscuits and cups of tea, very kindly donated and served by parents and friends of Lydford school.  The showery weather  only added to the occasion, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
