As part of our school VE day celebrations each child was asked to bring a stone to school.  Over the last few days, children painted their stones and today we created a beautiful art installation on the playground to share with our school community.  Tomorrow the stones will be collected to create a VE Day trail around Wall Heath. Take a look at some of the amazing, detailed artwork.  Do you know where your stone is?

Some of our older children reflected on their thoughts and feelings about VE day.

“When I was painting my rock, I was thinking about how we weren’t painting the rocks for us, we are painting them for the community.  It’s like when the soldiers fought for me and the rest of the world”.    Freya

“When we were playing games I thought about how some children had to play in fear of the air raid shelter alarm going off”. Jake C

” While I was playing different games, I thought about how lucky I am to not be in fear; it must have been really hard to think that a German bomber could drop a bomb at any time.  I love running around, having a good time without thinking of running to an air raid shelter”.  Lauren
