This week in Cherry class we have been learning all about the Easter story. First, we heard the story of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. We spoke about how Jesus and his 12 disciples had their last supper and how Jesus sadly, learned that he had been betrayed by Judas. We shared hot cross buns and reflected on the story. We thought about the bread that Jesus shared between his friends and the cross in which he was crucified. We then listened to a good Friday hymn that portrayed the sadness felt by Christians at this time.
The following day, we learned of the events which took place on Easter Sunday; when Jesus resurrected. We shared delicious Easter eggs and spoke about the reasons why this is a common tradition in Britain at Easter. We learnt that the eggs are a symbol of new life and Jesus' resurrection.
"I didn't know that's why we eat eggs, I did always wonder why!" Vinnie
"I learned that when eggs are cracked open they represent the empty tomb after Jesus came back" Paris

Yummy!
Finally, in the spirit of all things Easter we have been completing Easter related activities in the class room including; symmetrical eggs, an Easter reading activity, an Easter finger gym and have made our own Easter baskets from nets.
What a lovely final week it has been in Cherry class!
