<p>Once the procession has circled the playground, the Green Man crowns the May Queen with a circlet of flowers.&nbsp; As three cheers ring out for the Queen, she takes her place on the dais with her attendants.&nbsp; The children then provide entertainment for the May Queen.&nbsp; This takes the form of Country Dancing from the Early Years and Year 1 and Maypole Dancing by Year 2. &nbsp;This year we also included Coronation celebrations &ndash; the Junior children came to school wearing Red, White &amp; Blue and the whole school came together to sing songs to celebrate the King being crowned.</p>

<p>Thank you so much to Adam, our visiting scholar, who is actually a third year student at Cambridge University studying Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, for taking us back in time for a short while to start our topic.&nbsp;</p>

	<link>https://www.katherinesemar.co.uk/news/?pid=443&amp;nid=4&amp;storyid=265</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>Year 2 had a wonderful day vising Saffron Walden museum, Bridge End gardens and the turf maze on the common. They found out lots about their local environment and even learned lots about the geology of Saffron Walden and the surrounding area. They also learned why buildings in the local area were built with the materials that they are. We then explored the museum and found lots of information about some other learning that we have been doing this year in Year 2: The story of Rama and Sita, The fire in The Rose and Crown Hotel, Winstanley&rsquo;s lighthouse and life cycles. The children were AMAZING and coped well with walking in the rain, snow, sleet and even hail! Thank you to all the wonderful parent helpers who came with us. YOU were amazing too! Enjoy the photos.</p>
