Good Friday and Easter Eggs 

Click the link below and watch the short clip about Good Friday (tomorrow).

   https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zjgkq6f

To think about …

Why do Christians call such a sad day ‘Good Friday’?

Why are eggs an important symbol at Easter ?

Now a bit of fun with a Peppa Pig Easter Egg hunt story

 Egg hunt 

How many  eggs can you spot  in the picture below ?

Now check …

Play at home 

Maybe you could have an egg hunt at home. You can use any small items that you have in the house  instead of eggs (oranges, apples , rolled up clean socks etc).

I can also personally recommend a free app– Khan Academy Kids. Parents need to register but it is free and you will be able access maths, reading , logic, memory  and social and emotional activities. The digital books are also free. The only problem is that your child may want your phone a lot !

Have a lovely Easter Break. Keep safe and well.

Miss you all .

Good Morning Reception,

I hope you had a good sleep and are ready for some learning.

Let’s start by doing a wake up shake up! I know I need some energy this morning.

Holy Week- Garden of Gethsemane

In the garden Jesus sat and prayed. He asked God to look after him and keep him safe. Can you say your own prayer to God at this moment?

Dear God, 

Thank you for keeping me safe. Thank you for my family. I am enjoying spending lots of time at home with them.  I am feeling a bit scared and worried at the moment but I know you are there to look after me. 

Amen

Phonics
