Friday 8 May is the 75th anniversary of VE Day. Although this will be a bank holiday, we hope that you will join us in celebrating this event. We had our celebrations planned ready for assemblies in school but will now do this within our own homes over the weekend of 8-10 May. Dress up, bake cakes, get creative making peacetime bunting… We would love to get some photos and pictures to post on the website of how you and your families have celebrated. Please send them to either [email protected] or [email protected].

This will be a shared moment of remembering those who served us in history, along with celebrating those who currently serve us in a time when we are all striving together to stay safe for the ones we love.

For resources that you might use to be creative at home:

• go to the VE Day website
• download activities from the National Memorial Arboretum website

Or visit the BBC website to hear some VE Day stories.

I look forward to seeing all the wonderful creations and costumes.

Keep safe and well
