Week 8 – Hope

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the slightly later blog this week. This week we are going to be thinking about the value of hope, to help you with this I have a lovely resource to share with you.

But first the answers to last week’s VE quiz:

VE Quiz and answers

1. What does VE stand for? Victory in Europe
2. What came first VE day or VJ day? (What does VJ stand for) VE day, VJ stands for Victory in Europe
3. Which Prime Minister led Britain through WW2? Winston Churchill

1. Who were Britain’s allies during WW2? France, Russia and the United States
2. Where did crowds in London mainly gather to celebrate the end of the war? Trafalgar Square and up the Mall towards Buckingham Palace

Well done if you got all those answers right.

This week, as I said, we are thinking about hope. When we think about hope, we think about things getting better. All of us have been thinking about hope over the past few months and expressing our thoughts through our lovely rainbow pictures.

Over the next few days, I would like you all to look at an amazing book called the Book of Hope. It is available free on the National Literacy Trust Website (just cut and paste the link below into your search engine). 
The Book of Hopes | National Literacy Trust.  

It is free to download and  full of extraordinary short stories, poems and pictures from more 110 children’s writers and illustrators, including lots of your favourites such as: Lauren Child, Anthony Horowitz, Michael Morpurgo, Axel Scheffler, and Jacqueline Wilson.

I do hope you enjoy it.

Take care of yourselves and your families.

Sending lots of love

Miss Ascough
