This year is an important one!  At 3pm on the 8^th May 1945 Winston Churchill announced that World War II  in Europe had finally come to an end. For nearly 6 years Britain had been fighting a war of survival against Nazi Germany and it was over!

Victory in Europe Day.  With so many events cancelled or scaled back because of the Corona Virus, as a school we wanted to put together our own tribute. We invited students, teachers, families and friends to make a paper crane. At the end of World War II in Asia and in particular Japan, origami cranes came to symbolise peace, reflection and unity. There was an old Japanese idea that if you could make 1,000 cranes – then a wish would be granted.  To us there seemed no better way to remember the sacrifices of an older generation as well as the challenges faced by all of us today.  So please see attached our flock or ‘swoop’ of cranes.  Happy VE day75. 

Wishing you all peace and happiness.
