Hello everyone,

We hope you are all doing well?

It is VE Day on Friday 8th May.  We would like you to find out more about it and celebrate it by completing the activities below. Remember to send any work that you have to the class email page ashclass@manea.cambs.sch.uk

Many thanks, Miss Bridges and Mrs Revell.

Celebrating VE day

Visit the powerpoint below to learn what is VE day and why we celebrate this – this can be viewed on your laptop/ipad/iPhone/tablet so please do not feel that you need to print this.

Now design your own party by doing the following. You can choose an activity to do each day:

• Design and write an invitation to the people you would like to invite. Remember to tell them where it is going to be, time and date.
• Write a shopping list of the food and drink you would like at the party.
• Using a grocery/supermarket app, search for each of the items on your food/drink list and write down the price of each item.
• For each item find the exact money by asking someone in your family if you can borrow their coins. Then practise adding two of the items together to find the total. Repeat this several times.
• Design some bunting to put up as decorations for your party.
• Write down a list of games that you would like to play. Are there any new games? Can you design a new game and write the instructions for it?
• Write a list of music that you would like to play at the party. Why have you chosen those pieces of music?

You can then write about what your party would be like. Think about the following questions – Who came to your party? Who danced and made you laugh? Who ate all the cake? Did everyone have a good time? Why/why not?

Outdoor learning opportunity

Present a news report on the party. Write you what you would like to say as a reporter then present it in front of your family. If you decide to film it then we would love for you to send it to ashclass@manea.cambs.sch.uk for Miss Bridges and Mrs Revell to see.
