On Thursday our students were tasked with learning more about VE Day which happened 75 years ago. They were asked to complete activities including researching some family history, writing a poem or trying some 1940s style baking using old recipes, to learn more about VE Day and the end of World War II in Europe. Students were then asked to join the nation on Friday 8th May to stay at home and celebrate VE Day 75, with a toast/afternoon tea at 3pm, watching the coverage on TV or even a sing-a-long to "We'll meet again" with neighbours at 9pm.
We have been overwhelmed with photos of the work that was completed by students and well done to all who took part to celebrate this momentous occasion, in extremely difficult circumstances.
A special thank you to -
