Base 10 VE Day Collage

 

To celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day this year in Base 10, we embraced our creativity by making beautiful collages. Using a variety of materials, we carefully crafted images that captured the spirit of VE Day, symbolising the joy, relief and hope that came with the end of the war in Europe. Each collage was a unique expression of our understanding of this important historical event, combining colour, texture, and imagery to bring the story of VE Day to life.

VE Art Competition

 

To celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day this year, we held a school-wide VE Day art competition titled ‘The Day Peace Returned.’ Students from all year groups were encouraged to showcase their creativity, resulting in an incredible array of entries that beautifully captured the spirit and significance of VE Day. The finalists were carefully judged by our school council, who had the challenging task of selecting the most outstanding pieces. The winners were then announced in a special assembly, where the entire school came together to celebrate the artistic talents of our students and remember the importance of peace.
