Year 6/Letter 3

12th January 2012

Dear Parents

Year 6 will be celebrating VE Day on Wednesday 14th March as the culmination of our topic on World War II. During the day the children will take part in a variety of activities finishing with a VE Day street party.

The street party will have celebration wartime snacks, traditional sports and entertainments. We would like the children to wear wartime style clothing to give the day an authentic feel.

School will be providing a range of party foods typical of the time. However, if you would like to have a go cooking something with your child that they could bring in on the day, a wartime recipe sheet, along with an ideas sheet for wartime clothing, will be sent home with the children.

We would be very grateful for help during the afternoon, so if you would like to be involved pleased indicate on the form below and return it to school as soon as possible. (World War II dress is optional!!) If you would like to join us for the VE Day tea party at 2.30 pm then please complete the slip below as we will need to be aware of numbers.

Yours sincerely



Mrs D James Miss K Thorpe
