Greetings, Class 4 11/05/2020
Date: 11th May 2020 @ 12:14am
How has your week been? Did you get to celebrate VE Day in any way? My road had a “stay at home street party” and we all kept metres away from each other so we were quite safe. It was lovely to see all of my neighbours though and we had 40s music playing in the background. My friends had ordered us a surprise afternoon tea to have on VE Day but unfortunately, it didn’t come in time so we were very hungry by the time we actually got to eat it!!
There is an old lady who loves in my road whose husband had been awarded the Legion d’honneur (The Legion of Honour) medal. It’s the French equivalent of the The Victoria Cross so it’s a very, very special medal indeed. It’s the highest French order of merit that can be given to recognise how brave someone was during the war. She took great pride in showing us it and the rest of his war medals too.
We had a lovely time and we ended up sitting out in the sun in the middle of our road. It’s not something we’d normally do but I’m glad we did it.
We all went back outside just after 9.00pm and sang “We’ll Meet Again” by Vera Lyn. Elsie (our elderly neighbour) even did a little solo of “Blue Birds over the White Cliffs of Dover”. She’s 88 and she did so well. I'll try and upload a video of her singing.
I hope you enjoy finding out about Florence Nightingale this week for your home learning. Mary Seacole was another nurse from that time too. What can you find out about her? Click here to see the rest of your Home Learning activities
Here's hoping you all have a lovely week this week. The weather is not going to be as warm as last week so no sunbathing this week.It's going to be quite cold!!! You will have to do more indoor activities like reading, being creative, baking etc. Please email me and let me know how you’re getting on at [email protected] . Send me any photos of you doing activities and I’ll upload them to our class gallery page. We’re getting quite a gallery now so check it out and see what your friends have been uo to.
Can you see how much my hair has grown? It looks like my curls are coming back. But it’s come back grey!!!!!!! Do you think I should dye it or leave it grey?
Take care.
Love Mrs Williams xx
