Ensure that your students never forget the significance of VE day and what it means to both serving soldiers and veterans of the British Army.  

Develop your pupils’ understanding of VE Day, with key facts and a thought-provoking, discussion-based session. The resource allows your pupils to explore their knowledge of VE Day and the historic impact on many different communities. 

Comprising an assembly and a supporting lesson, it includes supporting teacher guidance on VE Day. Suitable for pupils of Secondary School age, British Army Supporting Education has created these resources to support VE Day commemorations. 

With six worksheets provided to support the assembly and lesson, this can be completed in tutor time or as home-based work.
