  • Our VE Day Celebrations.

    Published 11/05/25

    We had a brilliant day on Friday 9th May celebrating VE Day (a day later for more fun). Pupils and staff dressed up in 1940's clothing or red, white and blue and learnt about the end of WW2. In the afternoon, we all went into the yard for our 'street parties' with lots of treats. We were also joined by veteran, and serving members, of the armed forces who praised the children for their questions and curtesy. A huge thank you to local veteran Steven Cook who organised the visits, helped with our display resources and arranged a grant from Clydach Community Council for us to have so many lovely treats. Everyone enjoyed and the sun shone for us.

    Published 04/04/25

    To commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day 'VE Day' we will be having a special day. In the morning we will have a special assembly and all classes will learn about an aspect of World War 2 and consider what life was like in the UK in the years immediately after World War Two. For example, stepping into the shoes of a young evacuee or a conscripted soldier looking forward to returning home.

    Then, in the afternoon we will have a ‘street party’ with 1940s music and dancing.

    Everyone is encouraged to dress up and there are ideas below. Please do not feel obliged to buy an expensive costume. You could wear a bit of red, white and blue!
