Today we marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day at St Josephs. We started with an assembly during which we reflected on the significance of today. Each class did their own activities to commemorate D-Day which were:

 

Reception: The children used various mediums to commemorate the soldiers parachuting on to the beaches of Normandy.

Year 1: The children did some creative writing, pretending to be soldiers going off to war. They spoke about how they felt being a soldier.

Year 2: The children wrote beautiful prayers of love, peace and justice.

Year 3: The children made D-Day medals.

Year 4: The children wrote letters home from a soldier's perspective.

Year 5: The children made their own D-Day poems/raps and wrote their own prayers for the soldiers.

Year 6: The children used oil pastels,water colours and silhouettes to produce D-Day paintings.
