VE Day 2020

I am sure you will have heard in the news that this coming Friday is a Bank Holiday.  The reason for this being that May 8 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day, which was the day towards the end of World War Two when fighting against Nazi Germany came to an end in Europe.

Please find some activities below to try if you would like to join in the celebrations!

Useful websites to have a look at.  My favourite is the virtual museums website. 

Horrible histories are always fun to watch too.
