VE Day - 8th May 2020

Good morning, Year 5! I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine safely. As you will all know, from learning about WW2 in the autumn term, VE Day commemorates the surrender of Nazi Germany to the Allied Forces in May 1945.  Today is the 75th anniversary of that first VE Day!

As part of the commemoration, we are being asked to hold a 2 minute silence, in our front gardens or on our doorsteps, to reflect and remember. The broadcast of Sir Winston Churchill's victory speech, which he made from 10 Downing Street on 8th May 1945, will air on BBC One at 2.45pm.  At 9pm (if you are still up!), there will be a special address from The Queen which is the exact time her father (King George VI) spoke to the UK 75 years ago, on the actual VE Day. 

As today is a bank holiday, I have provided you with VE Day themed activities which you may or may not want to complete.  Above all, stay safe, take care and have fun xxx
