Park Road Community Primary School pupils dressed in red, white, and blue, party clothes, or 1940s-style outfits, which helped set the tone for the day, which focused on learning about wartime life and the events surrounding Victory in Europe Day, first celebrated on 8 May 1945. In the afternoon, an outdoor celebration was held on the school grounds. Pupils took part in several practical activities inspired by wartime Britain. These included a Dig for Victory gardening station, where children planted seeds and learned about food production during rationing. A Make Do and Mend area gave pupils the chance to practice basic sewing skills and discover how families reused materials during times of shortage. What a great day!
