We retold the main events of the Easter story through mime, writing and art. After freeze framing scenes from Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday, we designed crosses to reflect each, incorporating words that people might have said at the very first Easter. We then spent some time learning about how Easter is celebrated by Christians in India and wrote information leaflets to share what we'd learnt with others. Following the Indian tradition of decorating streets and towns with colourful lanterns, we created Easter story lanterns with coloured cellophane to catch the light. Our work on Easter in India formed part of a whole school display in the hall. We enjoyed completing an Easter quiz to help us learn more about Easter traditions in other parts of the world.
