A Shared Moment of Celebration: VE Day 75th Anniversary
As the nation pauses to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day, the children have been studying the pictures and written accounts of the events on 8th May 1945, and the significance of the day. In this selection of acrostic poems Form 4 have captured the mood that swept the country that day.

Coming to celebrate
Everyone cheers
Lots of people are dancing
Europe is happy
Buntings are hung
Racing out of their houses
All getting together
Trapped no longer
End of the WAR

Eat and be merry
Laugh and sing
Everyone be happy for it is a celebration

Everyone is delighted

England has freedom
Buckingham Palace is packed
Roads are closed for street parties

The Nazis are defeated

Celebrating in the streets
Enjoying having fun for the first time in years
Loving all the joy
Eating and celebrating into the night
Becoming safe for the first time in years
Reuniting with friends again
Asking if the war is really over
Talking to people, and
Enjoying the fun
