Year Four Recreate the 'VE 80' Logo in Computing

 


Animating History: Year Four Recreate the 'VE 80' Logo in Computing

As part of our whole-school preparations for the upcoming VE Day 80th Anniversary Street Party, Year Four pupils have been blending creativity and computing skills to bring history to life in the digital world!

In today’s Computing lesson, pupils explored ‘2Animate’, a powerful and pupil-friendly tool on Purple Mash that introduces animation techniques in a fun, accessible way. Their challenge? To digitally recreate the official ‘VE 80’ logo— a bold and symbolic design that will be proudly displayed across our school during the celebration.


Pupils experimented with frame-by-frame animation, layering and colour blending as they replicated the red, white and blue emblem. Some even added their own imaginative touches, incorporating waving flags and fireworks to give their animations a celebratory twist!

This activity not only deepened pupils’ understanding of digital media but also offered a meaningful way to connect with the significance of Victory in Europe Day and the enduring importance of remembrance, gratitude, and unity.

Keep an eye on our school displays — and our website — as we share some of the fantastic animations leading up to the big event on Thursday 8th May 2025.



Well done Year Four — a wonderful example of learning with purpose and creativity!
