This is a long banner (2 A4 pages, landscape). It can be put in your reading corner or on a display board (a board to celebrate reading, decorated with photos of children holding their favourite books, pieces of writing from children, and key vocabulary such as setting, characters, etc).

For use with 'The Diamond Jubilee-For Kids' PowerPoint. 2 pages in the Word Doc: Page 1: worksheet with speech bubbles (Picture of The Queen in the middle with speech bubbles surrounding her. Children write facts in speech bubbles). Page 2: Union Jack bunting outline.
