VE Day - Celebration and Remembrance
Today we all came to school dressed in red, white and blue... some children arrived as evacuees. We joined a National Live Assembly which informed and moved many of our pupils - helping them understand just what a difficult time World War II was for so many people.
At 12 noon we all listened to the radio in the playground and observed two minutes silence... everyone joined in.
Once the two minutes were up we listened to celebrations that were taking place in Westminster and held our own celebration in the playground. We played a special VE day compilation of music and Mrs. McMillian and Mrs. Litt prepared us a tasty picnic which we ate on the grass in the sunshine. Lots of children smiling reminded us all how lucky we are.
