Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee

Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee is celebrated in England from 2nd to 5th June on the occasion of her  60 years on the British throne.

The official website : http://www.thediamondjubilee.org/   

 

Born 21 April 1926 , the elder daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. At the time it was not expected that her father would become King, or that she would become Queen

The queen took the throne in 1952 on the death of her father, King George VI, and most Britons have known no other monarch.

Prepositional....poster!

Something I found in "Pinterest". Excellent poster and it can be challenging if you give your students the post-its to stick on the lines.
