The 80th Anniversary of VE Day 🇬🇧

We've created a free special pack to help you mark this historic event in school.

👉 Comment ‘VE’ and we’ll send you the details!

Why is peace worth celebrating?

VE Day marked the end of WWII in Europe after nearly six years. On 8 May 1945, reets, Churchill gave that speech, and a wave of relief swept across the country. But it wasn’t just about parties. It was a moment of reflection, unity, and resilience.

🕊️ So why does it still matter to pupils today?

Because behind the poppies and parades are real people, real stories, and real emotions.

When children connect with the past as human experience, not just names and dates, history comes alive.

📚 Use this week to:

✔️ Share personal wartime stories

✔️ Reflect on peace, loss and hope

✔️ Discuss what remembrance means today

Let’s help the next generation understand the past so they can shape a better future.
