Come July and when we reflect on all of the weeks throughout Year 5- holy week will remain as the most special. The incredible journey that the school have taken us on, from Jesus’ arrival into Jerusalem to his resurrection just one week later. On Wednesday, the children did themselves, their parents and the entire school proud with their liturgy of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The children embodied their roles and spoke, expressed, and moved with such purpose.

To celebrate this, we were treated to an Easter Egg hunt in forest school later that morning. More Easter egg fun followed on Thursday with our annual Easter egg raffle.

Conversation starters

HRE- We have looked at ‘self-talk’ and how we can view and interpret situations in either a positive or negative mindset. We used the ‘glass half full or half empty’ example of how we can view the same situation but with different mindsets. Do any of your family members use any positive mindset techniques? Do they follow any inspirational/motivational quotes to keep their mindset in a positive state?

Let’s Celebrate
