Thursday 7th May

Lets prepare for the celebration and your own street party!

To celebrate, there were many street parties across the country. Why not have your own ‘street party’ at home with your family. You could do lots of things to make it special:

• Dress in red, white and blue
• Make your own bunting to hang up
• Make posters to show everyone what you are doing
• Find some 1940s music to play
• Make poppies to wear
• Try some wartime recipes to make for your picnic
• Find out what games children played and have a go at playing them
• Enjoy an outdoor picnic in your garden, if the weather is good
• Most of all HAVE FUN!

Make some bunting, colour in some flags and maybe even do some baking of some war time recipes!

Have lots of fun and a wonderful celebration with your families!

Send us lots of pictures!

We all have worries at one time or another they can be about all sorts of things. At the moment when things are very different, worries can become huge! Below is a lovely story about a little boy who worries about all sorts and finds a way to help himself by making worry dolls. Maybe you could make some too.

Here’s a lovely way of helping young children to understand the current situation.

This week your learning and activities will all be about VE day, Victory in Europe, which takes place on Friday, a special 75th Anniversary.

What is VE Day?

VE Day, which stands for Victory of Europe Day, was the day on which allied forces announced the surrender of Germany in Europe on May 8th, 1945. It marked the end of Adolf Hitler’s reign and was a cause for celebration all over the world.

At 3pm that day, Prime Minister Winston Churchill told the nation that the war was over. In London, a crowd of 50,000 celebrated the momentous event in Piccadilly Circus, cheering and waving flags in the street. This year is particularly important, given that it’s the 75th anniversary of VE Day.

We will be learning about what VE day is, why it is celebrated and a bit about World War 2.

Mrs Atkinson and I have put together lots of fun activities for your week.

I have emailed you 2 Power points which help explain VE day in a child friendly way.

Reading task

I have emailed you a reading comprehension task to help you gain a better understanding of VE day.

Once you have read it, have a go at answering the questions!

Art and DT

You can use this template or see if you can make and design your own.
