Good morning Toucans! I hope you are all still dancing, ‘dance like no one is watching you’, and singing too! This is fabulous for our mental health and keeps us physically healthy as well. Missing our sporting competitions in school? I hope some of you are having a go at our daily active challenges. Also has anyone tried out the tri-golf game for the School Games? Have a go today and don’t forget to Tweet your achievements. Keep an eye out on Twitter for the basketball challenge that will also appear later today.

Message from Mrs Powell
What did the world look like on VE day? What were people eating? Over the past few months, you might have had to eat something different because shopping is a little more complicated. What food did people eat on VE day? Lots of you have been growing your own fruits and vegetables; I’m growing tomatoes, herbs and strawberries and waiting to see if my peppers will grow! During the war, food was rationed so people grew as much food as they could. Another one of my Gran’s favourite foods was liver and she would make me and my brothers and sisters eat it all the time because she said it was good for us! We really didn’t like that but I like the ideas of some of these war time food; my Gran Peggy would have loved the liver casserole!
Here's some of the popular foods eaten during World War II and the sort of dishes that featured in VE Day celebrations. Do you fancy trying any of them?
- Dripping sandwiches with beef fat
- Lord Woolton pie (cauliflower, potatoes, parsnips, oats)
- Pork faggots with onion gravy and mash
- Homity pie (potato, onion and cheese)
- Corned beef hash
- Liver casserole
- Eggless fruit cake. Why do you think it was eggless?
All the best from Mrs Downing, Mrs Whittingham & Mr Beswick and keep smiling! Tomorrow I will set the VE whole school project to be done on Thursday and Friday to mark VE Day.
