Red, white and blue were definitely the colours of the day when our school marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

We asked the children to wear clothing in the three colours, and they learnt more about the historic day during a special morning assembly.

“We discussed what happened and how people felt at the end of the war. Classes have also been working together to make two whole-school collages by painting a number of poppies red, white and blue and putting them together to create the artwork. We are hoping to display them all to parents later today,” said Assistant Head Teacher Billy Overton.
