Good Morning Everyone.
Tomorrow, Friday 8th Of May, many people will be having stay at home street parties and decorating themselves and their homes in red, white and blue to represent the Union Jack. People in Britain celebrate today because it is a special day in history. 

We have put together some ideas and activities to help you to do the same if you would like to over the next few days. 
Please share all the lovely things you are doing. In my house today, we are hoping to decorate and make some bunting to put outside. There are some links to some bunting if you would like to do the same. 

To finish off our Maths this week,  you will compare how much you can do in 15s, 30s and a minute. You can time yourself at home - how quickly can you put on your coat or run a short distance? Can you brush your teeth for 2 minutes in the morning and evening?

Daily fitness challenge day 4: balance a ball on your head. 

It has been wonderful to see some of you doing some lovely pictures for our sharing window at school. The window is making everyone smile as they walk past it. 

Have a wonderful day in the beautiful sunshine.
Love Mrs Campion and Mrs Hoskins. x

Message from Mrs Powell:
Thursday
Just over 80 years ago, the Second World War began. It was a huge war that involved most nations of the world. On 8 May 1945 at 3pm, Winston Churchill, the UK prime minister at that time, announced to the nation that the war in Europe was over. This meant an end to nearly six years of war that had cost the lives of millions of people and had destroyed families, homes and cities.

Millions rejoiced at the news that Germany had surrendered, relieved that the intense strain of war was finally over. In towns and cities across the world, people marked the victory with street parties, dancing and singing.  Can you imagine how it felt?  What could you make today for a street party? My Gran Peggy told us that she danced all through the night as she had really missed dancing!
