Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth!

Hello long weekend and of course Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth! We must not forget the reason why we have this well-deserved and need extra day off. How many of you knew that Queen Elizabeth’s actual birthday is on April the 21^st? And what the Queen actually does? Well we asked our very cute and very knowledgeable members on what they think about the Queen and her birthday.

Why do you think you have a day off school for the Queen’s birthday?

Because it's special because she's the Queen of Australia.   

What do you think the Queen does?

I think she walks around the palace waiting for something to happen,  like a problem, in England or Australia, and then she sorts it out or maybe prays to God. 

What would you like to do if you were the King for a day?

I would like to go flying around in an airplane and then land in every country and sort things out.    

Did you know the Queen has two birthdays? Would you like to have two birthdays? How would you celebrate your two birthdays?

No I didn't know.  Yes I would like more than 2 birthdays!!  I would have a grand party and the biggest disco in the world and we'll go dancing for the rest of the night.   

What are you doing for the long weekend?

Playing soccer and going to my friends' house.  It will be awesome! 

Freddie was also lucky enough to meet Prince William and Princess Kate on their visit to Sydney earlier this year. Freddie sings in the St Andrew's Cathedral choir where Kate visited and said to Freddie that she 'had her eye on you all through the service. You were wonderful!' Freddie did comment that even though Kate was lovely he wishes he had of met Prince William. We love that he's not like everyone else who would jump at chance to meet Kate.
