Remind the children that on Friday it is VE day. VE day is a celebration day. Some people celebrate it every year. It marks the end of World War II. This year its is 75 years since World II ended. We are going to plan a party (In our homes/gardens only)

• Every good party needs food! What food will you have at your party? Do you think the food that you will have will be the same as the food they had 75 years ago? Food needed to be used and chosen carefully because they didn’t have much. Choose your food carefully – think about what ingredients you already have in your house (we can not go shopping too much).

Using the template provided  – write down a small list of food you would like at the VE day party. Remember to use your sounds to help you write words and keep your writing neat and small.
