A New Monarch: King Charles III – Coronation Day

In this teaching presentation, your students will learn key vocabulary featured in the PowerPoint, including; monarch, coronation, realm, and procession. They will be guided through a brief overview of King Charles III’s early life and his family.

Then the following places/icons will be featured and discussed:

• Westminster Abbey
• The Crown
• The Orb
• The Sceptre
• ‘The Ceremony

Throughout the PowerPoint, there will be points where the teacher can stop to check for understanding with a few ‘turn and talk ‘ activities.

Please note: Learning about the coronation of King Charles III and other events connected to the British Royal Family can be triggering to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people groups, due to the ongoing trauma faced since the point of colonisation.

King Charles III will begin his reign with growing pressure to honour treaties with First Nations People and repair some of the damage caused by the process of colonisation. These resources aim to share information on King Charles III’s life and the coronation ceremony traditions.
