Friday 8th May marks 75 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe.
Find out what happened, who was involved, how did people share the news and how did they celebrate? (Why are people comparing this to our situation just now, and how we might feel at the end of lockdown?)
The following activities are taken from the POPPYSCOTLAND website. There is much more information in the learning section – I have just chosen a few!!
How did they hear this important news before we all had phones and internet…..

I would LOVE to have done this as a mini topic in school this week with P3-7 classes and linked it with our writing! If you have a virtual VE Day party, make poppy biscuits or do some dancing please take photos and send them to our school email address! Miss Taylor
