VE Day Celebrations at St Martin's
Friday 9th May 2025
What a fantastic day we have had in school today, celebrating the very special 80th anniversary of VE Day.
The staff and children came to school dressed in 1940s clothes, as they arrived at school we had 1940s wartime tunes playing and the bunting was out! The children all bought along some food for our class street parties.
We all completed work for our collaborative art projects, which will share soon. We also sang along to some war time songs and learnt all about VE Day and why it was such a special day in 1945 and why we should always remember.
The children in years R-Year 6 all had a class workshop led by Jake from As Creatives, each with a different focus. Jake complimented our children and staff for their enthusiasm and excellent attitude during the sessions.
VE Day Gifts for Children
Thursday 8th May 2025
To mark the official VE Day 80th anniversary, each child was given two special things to bring home.
Firstly, a Peace Card, donated to each child from the Tipton Local History Group. Please see the photo attached to see the beautiful detail that has been added and the poignant words, which we will be exploring with the children.
Secondly, school have purchased a special VE Day 80th anniversary pin badge for each child and staff member to keep.
We have also learnt a beautiful song which has been written to commemorate this special day.
Tomorrow will be our school's VE Day Celebration Day, full of dressing up, street parties, a war time sing along and learning through workshops.
