Many designated Friday as a red, white and blue day and encouraged children to take part in a non-uniform day, which quite likely included a picnic.
Others carried out well-prepared drone pictures such as the two great shots in this gallery, of a crown and a union flag.
Here are some great pictures of what children got up to.
