VE Day Celebrations in Year 1

Year 1 had a fantastic day celebrating VE Day. In the morning they received a visit from Sandra Edwards. Sandra explained about her role in the British Legion and the good work of this charity.  Year 1 were particularly excited to hear how she was one of 76 women and 76 men to be awarded Maundy money in recognition of her Christian service to church and community. It was fascinating to hear how she met the King. Year 1 took away the message that the greatest gift you can give is your time to help others. Everyone respectfully observed the two minute silence. Following this was a wonderful picnic lunch outside with the whole school. Year 1 enjoyed spending the rest of the afternoon creating VE Day crafts.
