Happy Wednesday Everyone

I hope you are all ok and managing to keep yourselves busy J Have you received your special post yet? As I was writing out a little message for each of you I was thinking about all the happy times we have had together.

What have you got planned for today? Take a look at our class timetable for some suggestions! Parents… I also really can’t stress how amazing the Oak National Academy website is. If you are feeling overwhelmed with the amount of resources and activities available, I would stick solely with this website.

There is a math, English and topic lesson each day and they follow on from the previous lesson. It really is amazing!!!

I have also found some fun, and slightly silly, times tables videos on YouTube that I think you will all enjoy. There is a different video for each set of times tables so no matter where you are up to there will be one for you:

Remember, keep smiling and laughing.

“A day without laughter is a day wasted.”

Have a lovely day and I will speak to you again tomorrow J

With love,

Miss Beattie and Mrs Esling xx

Message from Mrs Powell:

What did the world look like on VE day? What were people eating? Over the past few months, you might have had to eat something different because shopping is a little more complicated. What food did people eat on VE day? Lots of you have been growing your own fruits and vegetables; I’m growing tomatoes, herbs and strawberries and waiting to see if my peppers will grow! During the war, food was rationed so people grew as much food as they could. Another one of my Gran’s favourite foods was liver and she would make me and my brothers and sisters eat it all the time because she said it was good for us! We really didn’t like that but I like the ideas of some of these war time food; my Gran Peggy would have loved the liver casserole!

Here's some of the popular foods eaten during World War II and the sort of dishes that featured in VE Day celebrations.  Do you fancy trying any of them?

•          Dripping sandwiches with beef fat

•          Lord Woolton pie (cauliflower, potatoes, parsnips, oats)

•          Pork faggots with onion gravy and mash

•          Homity pie (potato, onion and cheese)

•          Corned beef hash

•          Liver casserole

•          Eggless fruit cake. Why do you think it was eggless?
