Thursday 7th May

Good Morning,
Let’s hope for another fantastic day filled with sunshine.
Don’t forget today is your last day of home learning tasks for this week because tomorrow is V.E day.
Keep sharing pictures and comments of all the things you have been doing. I add these to our blog so all your friends can see what you've been doing. It's great for us to keep in contact.

Here are your activities for today!

Literacy
"VE Day (Victory in Europe Day) takes place on 8th May, commemorating the same day back in 1945 when the war finally ceased. On that day, people from across the globe flocked to the streets for parties and get-togethers, enjoying their freedom for the first time in six years".
Here is a power point you could look at together all about V.E day for young children.
