VE Day
Today it is the 75th anniversary of VE Day. Victory in Europe Day/VE Day took place on May 8th 1945. It was a public holiday and day of celebration to mark the defeat of Germany by the Allied forces in Second World War.
On VE day people ran out in the street with flags and banners and they sung and they danced. They hung up bunting and had parties and food in the streets.
This year we are celebrating VE day and our May bank holiday a little differently. Here are some activities that you can do at home to celebrate VE day.
- Make your own union jack bunting just like the bunting that they had on VE day 75 years ago.
- Make your own union jack flags and banners and wave them whilst dancing to music in your garden
- Have a picnic outside
-Make your own special VE day medals
Whatever you do, we hope you have a lovely day.
