8th May marks Victory in Europe (VE) Day, a significant event commemorating the Allied victory over fascism in Europe and the end of nearly a decade of devastation. The first VE Day celebration in 1945 saw millions of people take to the streets across Britain to rejoice. Crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace as King George VI and Winston Churchill appeared on the balcony to mark the momentous occasion.
Reading Museum has put together a fantastic collection of resources, allowing students (and even their caregivers) to engage in a variety of arts and crafts projects. Activities include dressing up as a 1940s child, learning to dance the Lindy Hop, and much more.
This is a great opportunity to organise a community event or set it as a creative homework task.
Reading Museum also offers additional resources, including an Online Activity Chart related to VE Day.
