Having spent all week learning about VE Day, we rounded it off with afternoon tea on our front lawn. Herbie, Hetty and I made scones and traditional lemonade.

We spent a couple of hours in the sunshine, whilst Vera Lynn played in the background. It was a lovely afternoon.

VE Day diary entry

Class 3, you ALL are superstars! Thank you for sharing your Home Learning and telling me what you have learnt each day. You amaze me with the quality of your writing, drawing, researching and even baking! You have been very busy so: Be kind to yourself. Enjoy the sunshine (or the rain). Embrace each day with a smile. Mrs Dye

'Victory in Europe Day' This is what we have been learning about to the VE Day to get ready for the 75th anniversary of the end of the WW2

We like Lily's Reading Journal front cover with an optimistic quote

If you wonder what possibly could Paddington, a coconut shell, a measuring tape, a cat-like candle and the Tottenham football have in common, wait no longer. Class 3 writers have all the answers.

Well done to all the children for coming up with such amazing, and often humorous stories. It was a joy to read them all.
