Following the sad news of the death of our Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II yesterday, we have now entered a period of national mourning that will continue until the end of the State funeral.
Today our children attended a special assembly which focused on the immeasurable gift of self, which Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has given over 70 years of service to our nation.
Through prayer and reflection, and during a minute silence, we thanked God for her long life and care for all her people. We also prayed for the strength to be as inspirational as she has been, and we prayed for our new King, Charles III.
In learning about her incredible dedication to the people of our nation and the commonwealth, our teachers have given time today in class for children to reflect on what she meant to them.
Every child has been given the opportunity to write a message of sympathy, of love and of hope for a future in which all the good she has achieved will never be forgotten. These we shall send to the Royal Family.
