VE Day

Friday 09 May 2025

Yesterday was VE Day which means that WWII ended in Europe 80 years ago.

Y6 took part in a webinar that was all about VE Day, why we should celebrate peace and our British Values.

You can remember the British Values (Individual Liberty, Rule of Law, Democracy and Mutual Respect and Tolerance) with the following memory aid: I Really Do Matter.

The British Values link to VE Day because people had fewer choices for food due to rationing and shortages, people were fighting to have our voices heard, people were sadly treated extremely badly and weren’t following laws.

Help at home by matching the four reasons above to each of the four British Values.
