Art Challenge Celebrations for VE Day
Portsmouth Naval Base is looking to mark the occasion of VE day and need YOUR HELP! They have asked for you to draw pictures on the subject of WW2 & VE DAY and as an extra challenge try to incorporate a rainbow somewhere in the picture (even in the corner). The pictures will be displayed within the Naval Base and once the day is over they hope to make contact with local nursing homes to distribute the pictures to help cheer our elderly community. If you would like your work sent to the Naval base you will have to email it to me by Monday evening. However, all work sent to me, even after Monday, will still be displayed, as usual, on the Art Blog.
In addition to the drawings for the Naval Base, I would appreciated any art and craft linked to this important historic occasion , such as bunting, chalk drawings, figures of soldiers, planes or medals. I know, as always, you will blow me away with your imaginative ideas and creativity.
Please email your artwork to me:
n.pearson@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk
Thank you. Keep creating and keep safe!

History

Choose from the activities below:
Activity 1-Design your own medal looking at the attached document for some ideas. You can draw, colour then label it on paper or you could make a medal using different scraps of materials around your home. I don’t mind how you choose to do it just be creative and enjoy engaging in the learning about this celebration.
Activity 2-Imagine you are reporting to the news about this victory. Dress up as a soldier and talk about how you might have felt about this celebration. Express how excited you are and can’t wait to see your families.
Activity 3-Write a postcard to a missing family member telling them about your VE day celebrations. Draw a picture on the other side to show what you did and what you saw.
Activity 4-Make your own radio broadcast to announce Victory in Europe. You could even pretend to be Winston Churchill!
If possible, send photos or videos of your work to myself (Mrs Conlon) via my class email address so they can be put onto the school curriculum blog: starfishclass@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk
Have lots of fun learning all about this special celebration.
I am looking forward to seeing your great history learning.
