Good morning P3!😁

So today is VE day, which marks 75 years since the end of fighting in World War II. For this I’d like you to…

– Do the 2 minutes silence at 11 to remember those lost their lives.

– Research VE day celebrations here https://www.veday75.org

– Find out how your family were involved in the war. Focus on one family member and write a paragraph about what they did during the war. Draw a picture of them.

– Learn the song “We’ll meet again” by Dame Vera Lynn. Find out it’s significance to VE day.

VE Day – 8 May 2020

Friday 8 May marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day, which marked the end of the Second World War.  VE Day was commemorated in various ways, including street parties and the production of special cups.  If you can, design a VE Day cup (either print out this template, use craft paint on a real cup or draw your own cup).  You could also make bunting.  If anyone is celebrating in any way, we’d love to know about it!

Challenge – read and answer the questions the design on the teacup.

While the Coronavirus outbreak has drastically altered plans for the day there are still ways you can safely mark the event from your home.  There will be a two-minute silence at 11am. All staff and families are invited to observe this.  Visit the VE Day website for some suggestions:

Thank you,

Happy Friday! Well done for another week of home learning. Here is what we would like you to do today.

Literacy:
• Dictation (adult to read sentences for child to write down).
This cat has a nap on top of the bin.
Hens can sit on nests.
The bad cat sits in the bag.

Fairy Tale Friday:
• The Frog Prince

VE Day: Optional activities
Today is the 75th anniversary of victory in Europe during WW2. It is a difficult thing to talk about and explain to little ones so it is entirely up to you if you would like to say anything. I have attached a couple of activities that might be nice to do though. One is to decorate some bunting, it could be for VE Day, celebrating NHS and key workers whatever you would like. The other is to colour in and make their own spitfire. You can print the template out or make your own. I thought some of the kids may have seen Captain Tom’s flyby last week on TV.

Thank you again for all the amazing hard work that is happening at home. Mrs McKay and I have loved seeing pictures of the kids and reading your messages on the blog. We would also like to say again that we appreciate how difficult it can be to home school and for the kids (and us) to be motivated. Please do not worry if you don’t complete all of the tasks and if some days are harder than others. Every little bit will count.
Hoping you are all well and have a lovely weekend.
Miss Mackay and Mrs McKay
