The government is giving a commemorative book ‘Queen Elizabeth: A Platinum Jubilee Celebration’ as a gift to all children in state-funded primary school education in the UK. It is written for a reading age of 9 to 10 years old, upper key stage 2.

 

Our books have just been delivered to us. Teachers will give a book to each pupil in Reception to year 6 on Monday 11 July.

 

The government has not produced these books for Nursery children.

 

The book explains what the Platinum Jubilee is and why it is a significant milestone in Her Majesty’s reign. It covers:

• the system of constitutional monarchy in the UK and Commonwealth
• the role of the monarch
• important people, events, achievements, innovations and inventions in the UK and Commonwealth during Her Majesty’s 70-year reign
