It was the first community event the Washington based school had been able to host since the onset of the Covid pandemic and each year group performed a classic song from one of the seven decades Queen Elizabeth II has been on the throne.
At the end of the performance everyone joined in a rousing rendition of the national anthem.
Children and parents were also able to enjoy crazy golf, an inflatable assault course, bubble making, and a forest hunt to find clues about past kings and queens.
