Ramsbury D-Day 80

Over the past few months the children at Ramsbury Primary School have been learning about D-Day and how the village supported the war effort and troops in the lead up to it. All of this culminated in each class producing their own tapestry commemorating D-Day and Ramsbury. Using a multitude of techniques from block printing, sewing, batik and tie dye, 7 beautiful tapestries were made to be presented to the organisers of Ramsbury D-Day 80.

The tapestries were displayed at the airfield for the Ramsbury D-Day 80 event.

Class R – Dig for Victory (Vegetable Printing)
Class 1 – Ramsbury Volunteer Special Reserve Police Force (Collage)
Class 2 – Ramsbury Fire Watchers at the Church Tower (Tie Dye)
Class 3 – Evacuee children in Ramsbury (Press Print Block)
Class 4 – Spitfires from Wiltshire Fund (Pop Art)
Class 5 – Aircraft above the wheat fields of Ramsbury (Batik)
Class 6 – Aerial photo of Ramsbury airfield (Patchwork)

Thank you to the organisers of Ramsbury D- Day 80 for including the school in the event and for the commemorative packs they gave to the children.
