This week...

Worship

This week we have continued our ‘Desert to Garden’ topic with ‘Easter Sunday’. Our key words this week were HOLY WEEK, EASTER SUNDAY and NEW LIFE.

We began with a video, ‘God gave us Easter’ Click here. 

We are all great at re – telling the Easter story and talking about how sad Jesus and the people must have felt.

In our child led worship on Thursday we had pictures to look at. They represented the 14 stations of the cross. Some of us remembered going around school and seeing the stations of the cross that the children had made, and some of us said we had seen them in church. We watched this video, click here to watch at home.

The video had questions to really make us think about how Jesus felt and how we might face the same challenges in our life. ‘How do you think Jesus felt when he didn’t have any of his friends around him?’, ‘Have you ever had to do something that was really hard?’, ‘What helped you when you felt like quitting?’, ‘What do you think Jesus felt when he fell in front of all those people?’.

Learning Landscape

An exciting week at nursery. Mrs. Tierney brought us some frog spawn! We have been finding out how to care for the tadpoles that will emerge and eventually grow into frogs! It does take a long time though, we must be patient. We have made a small pond in the nursery garden to watch for any changes. We will keep you posted!

Also, Mrs. Hotchkiss in YR2 has hatched some chicks, we can’t wait to meet them.

Nursery has lots of Easter challenges for the coming week. We have been:

  • filling and matching eggs (to make them whole) in the special Easter sand

  • carefully picking up Easter hens and placing them carefully in egg cups…mmm I wonder how many hens there are?

  • creating Easter pictures using all our Easter crafts

  • bunny counting and looking carefully for similarities and differences…this was a bit tricky we had to look very carefully

  • meeting Number 10!!!! We have lots of fun with 10. Everyone has been making number bonds to ten, our learning is on fire!!

  • counting how many parts there are in the magnetic apples

  • visiting Forest School. We particularly enjoy swinging in the hammock!

  • climbing and jumping on the apparatus in the hall

  • and much much more….take a look at the photos
