# VE Day design activity

  ![Image of VE Day design activity](https://files.schudio.com/ststephenskm/images/blog/IMG_5765(1).JPG)  1 May 2020   [Lyndsey Faulkner](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/author/Lyndsey)   [Year 5 Blog](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/category/year-5-blog)

Why not design your own "bug". During the Second World War the squander bug urged people not to waste money but to save it for the war effort. Look closely at the image do you think the squander bug campaign effectively conveyed that message. Across the different posters are there any similarities? Do you think that they were created by the same artist? Who did he have allegiances with? How do you know? Why had the campaign been created to save money? Watch this clip that we watched in class, does this support the squander bug campaign? What do the words "bias" and "propaganda" mean.
