In school this week, we have discussed VE Day. It’s fantastic to see this important day marked on the High Street and through local celebrations so communities can honour the many sacrifices that secured the freedoms we enjoy today. Year 3 marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day, by walking through the High Street to view the flags which had been raised for the occasion. They noticed that the Abbott's Hospital, Guildhall and Castle had all risen a flag that morning. The children sat within the castle grounds to share diary entries written by children who were living in the local area during the week of VE 80 years ago. Many members of the public enjoyed seeing the children holding their own flags and were very interested in what the children had been learning in their WWII history lessons.
