VE Day Bunting

In preparation for the VE celebrations later this week, we created some celebratory bunting in school. The younger children decorated paper pennants whilst the older children used textiles and sewing to create theirs. I was so impressed by the resilience shown this afternoon as sewing can be really challenging. Ashleigh, Joe and Lola particularly impressed me.
