CHILDREN from Windmill Primary School in Wokingham brought smiles and cheer to Wade Day Care Centre as they joined in celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
The nine young visitors played a key role in the commemorations, serving drinks, sandwiches, and cakes to guests while enjoying the entertainment provided throughout the afternoon.
Their enthusiasm and warm hospitality were a highlight of the event and were clearly appreciated by the older visitors.
Headteacher Miss Nicola Cotter said: “I am immensely proud of our pupils for playing their part in the celebrations of this historic occasion.
“They met so many Wade Day Care Centre guests who are from the generation who lived through the end of World War Two and who know only too well the value of peace.
“It was a real opportunity for our students to recognise the significance of marking this important anniversary.”
Many of the Wade Day Care Centre guests were young people themselves during the Second World War and shared their memories with today’s generation.
In preparation for the occasion, all the children at Windmill Primary had coloured in pieces of bunting, which were displayed around the centre, adding a festive touch to the celebration.
As part of the day’s generosity, Wokingham In Need donated 200 new red pencils to Windmill —a thoughtful gesture that will be much appreciated by both staff and pupils.
The event was described by the school as a touching tribute to a historic day and a shining example of community spirit across generations.
