Easter gardens
We had a lovely afternoon in the spring sunshine creating some Easter gardens! We collected lots of natural materials and recreated the tomb of Jesus.
Hot Cross Buns!
In RE this week we looked at the symbolism of hot cross buns and why they are eaten at Easter. We could not resist a taste test too! Delicious!

Pass the parcel
We played pass the parcel with a twist - each layer had a picture from The Easter story and we used them to retell the story in the correct order. This really helped us to make sense of main events and understand why it is so important for Christians.

Class Two loved learning all about the importance of recycling! A big thumbs up from the boys who have promised to recycle every possible item going forward. Well done Class Two.

Class Two: RE
As Class Two continue to explore the features of a mosque, children were invited to explore Islamic artefacts this week. The children practised the four prayer positions whilst admiring the Quranic art and Islamic calligraphy before creating their own.
