This week we are celebrating 75 years since the end of World Ward II. On May 8, 1945, victory in Europe was announced, but what exactly is VE Day and how is it celebrated? This week we have a range of activities to learn more about VE day, what life was like back in 1945 and look forward to celebrating at home this Friday.
