The Hungry Caterpillars have been learning about why and how we celebrate Easter. The children listened to the Easter story from the Bible and watched it on our Smartboard. They enjoyed walking up to St. Peter’s church for an Easter service with Rev. Chris. They also watched the magnificent performance of the Easter play by classes 3 and 4 and found out more about Jesus dying on the cross and then coming back to life. Afterwards, the story was recreated outside in our play area and resources were used to represent the cross, the tomb and the stone in our ‘Prayer Place.’ The children learnt that eggs represent new life and made chocolate Easter nests in the Nursery kitchen . The Hungry Caterpillars were visited by the Easter Bunny (who left muddy footprints in our playground and Nursery!) He left a note telling the children that he had left them chocolate treats and eggs to hunt for all over the playground. Everyone had fun hunting for eggs outside.
