Whole School Activities
- Use the bunting template to create your own designs to celebrate VE Day on Friday. You can either print this template off or just cut paper in your home into triangles to join together.
- We would like you to design a VE Day medal all the information and details are on the attachment. You can design it to be any shape/size/colour either download and print the sheet or just design it on some paper. You could even use items and objects around your home (eg cardboard, tinfoil, ribbon) to make your medal!
- After the celebrations on Friday keep your bunting and medal designs safe to bring in to school (when we re-open) to add to our display board for everyone to see.
