It was a day of celebration and shared memories when children at a WNAT school commemorated the eightieth anniversary of the end of World War II.

The pupils at Snettisham Primary arrived at the school gates sporting patriotic red, white, and blue for Victory in Europe (VE) Day on Thursday 8 May.

All age groups at the school also enjoyed a street party-style lunch, for which the children made and decorated their own party hats.

Besides the celebrations, there were opportunities to discover more about VE Day, and to discuss those who had experienced the War.

"We had a whole-school assembly to learn about VE Day, and shared memories of grandparents that might have been involved in the War,” said Assistant Headteacher Ellie Jones.

Other WNAT members holding VE Day events included Heacham Infant and Junior Schools, Clenchwarton Primary, Walpole Cross Keys Primary, and Marshland and Smithdon High Schools.
