Good morning Year 1, tomorrow is a bank holiday for a special reason. It is a day to remember and celebrate VE Day. We would like you to research VE Day – what it is, why we celebrate it and why is this a special one?

This is a useful YouTube clip that will explain it quite well.

L.S. Lowry is a famous artist from Manchester. He painted a scene of life on VE Day in Manchester in 1945.

We would also like you to create your own scene from VE Day. You can use paint, pencil crayons or collage to show how you think a street might have looked during VE Day.
