St Pancras Catholic Primary School Spring Term Newsletter - 22nd May 2020
In St Pancras, we are loving and kind, we pray and we play, we learn and
explore through our faith everyday.
. Hello from St. Pancras. Here at school we have been finding out
about the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
We learnt about the meaning of VE Day and watched a short BBC
film explaining VE Day and the events leading to the end of WW2:

We found out about Churchill, 1945 playground/party games, war
medals and the spitfire. We made Union Jack flags, bunting and
cheese scones for our VE Day 75th anniversary party and danced to
popular and catchy 1945 songs/music such as ‘We’re gonna hang out
your washing on the Siegfried line’, ‘Pack up your troubles in your
old kit bag’ and ‘The Lambeth Walk’. We listened to the iconic tune
‘We’ll meet again’, which was one of the most famous songs during
the Second World War, as it resonated with soldiers who had to leave
their families and fight for Britain. The song reminds us all that hope
remains even in the most difficult times. The children started the
week knowing very little about VE Day and the 75th anniversary;
however by the end of the week they knew a great deal more!
Our school… And just like that, we have reached another bank holiday! I really hope we are now getting that
bit closer to seeing you all again and thank you for the emails with news and photos of what you are doing.
We continue to think of you all and pray you continue to stay safe and well.

Thank you for sending in your ‘Staying Active at Home’ photos and we would like to share some with you. All photos that have been sent in have been entered in to the competition run by the School Games Organiser (SGO). We found out at the end of last week that 4 of our chil-dren won prizes – Will F, Jessica Y, Tilly and Willow. Congratulations to the winners and please keep sending the photos in, as it is a weekly competition. We see that the children have been extremely creative with the daily/weekly challenges (2.6, 100 and 75). We’ve had photos of children completing obstacle courses around their garden, shooting baskets and goals, dancing, cycling, boxing, being active on their scooter, run-
