Our Coronation Re-enactment
Today in history we learnt about what happened during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. We discussed the significance of each item the Queen received during the ceremony and how the Queen promised to rule and lead the British Empire and Church of England with justice and respect.
This week we explored what life was like for Queen Elizabeth in her early life. We discovered her childhood nickname was Lilibet, she wanted to be a farmer and that she learnt to drive an ambulance during WWII.
we looked and primary and secondary sources to help us with our research, matching the evidence to the historical clues.
