If you haven’t already, have a go at your VE day challenge on this week’s Home Learning. If you have, why not try another year groups’ challenge or check out this bunting template: https://bbc.in/2LcT9kJ

Today is a very different VE Day to previous ones as you can see from Sutton Road's VE Day and VE Day 70 photos. We would still like to commemorate the day with a photo so would love to see photos of your celebrations.

Also, Mansfield District Council are hosting a virtual VE anniversary party. Tune in to their Facebook page as they host a range of activities that the whole family can take part in. Featuring everything from Army style workout to 1940s dance and hairstyle tutorials, there will be something for everyone:
