Sally, Scott, James, and Geoff outside St James's Palace
Scott and JamesHello Everyone
Last Tuesday 2nd November two students James and Scott at Queens Park School went to St James's Palace in London to receive a certificate for achieving their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. They received their certificate from Prince Philip (The Duke of Edinburgh as he is also known) he is married to Queen Elizabeth II.
It took over three years hard work for James and Scott to reach the Gold Award, they had to work at a local park clearing weeds, cutting down trees, picking up litter, repairing paths and clearing leaves and many other jobs in the park. They had to do a sport and James and Scott both played ten pin bowling. They also had to walk many miles carrying a rucksack containing their clothes, food and drink and then sleep in a tent.
Sally and Geoff also went with them to the Palace to see them receive their certificate. I wish someone had told me that my shirt was not tucked into my trousers, I do look a mess!
The night before the presentation James went with his parents to see Dirty Dancing at the theatre and Scott went for a meal in a restaurant with his Mum.
Congratulations Scott and James. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteIt is also great to see Geoff in a suit with a tie.
Continue the good work!

Congratulations to boys for their great success.
ReplyDeleteIt's really great to see kids make so successful.
Dear Geoff, at first I thought you were the Duke of Edinburgh. The suit and tie suits you beautifully.
I wish everyone to get even higher.
Successes in all

Make the most of seeing me and Sally in anything other than tracksuits and trainer shoes, a very rare occasion.
