First up, we had a special Royal Wedding assembly at both sites.
We had children playing the part of bride, groom, best man, the bridesmaids and the bride's father, and at Alexis Street we all had the Queen and a gaggle of royal princesses.
The children clapped as the bride walked down the aisle to the Bridal March, and, again at the end, when bride and groom walked out the Wedding March followed by the wedding party.
We also practised the wedding vows, the special promises at the heart of the service.
Before we began I asked the children what they thought was important about marriage. They said it was about making a promise and trying to keep it for your whole life. They said it was about trust. They said it was about starting a new family, with the bride taking a new name, and being called Mrs instead of Miss.
In the afternoon, at both sites the children were having a Royal Wedding picnic, complete with crowns and cucumber sandwiches, before giving a resounding three cheers to Harry and Megan.
Above are the younger children at Old Jamaica Road, and here is Year 2 Austria toasting the royal couple with apple juice:
