Why does Easter matter to Christians?
This week we thought back to what sin and salvation meant and how Jesus was sent to save us. We then looked back at our Holy week timeline and made a tableaux for each part.
Jesus was setting an example to all of God's people during each part of Holy week, we talked about what Jesus was showing us.
We thought really carefully and hard about these things. Mrs. Holmes was extremely impressed with what we thought and said.

What do these words sin and salvation mean? The children thought about sin first and that it is the things that people do wrong, some of the ideas that they came up with were hitting people, war, saying unkind things. The children then looked at the word salvation alongside the word save and noticed that they have some of the same letters.
We went to the hall and put the word God one side, people the other side and sin in the middle. One of us stood in the middle like Jesus on the cross, the word sin was underneath, we noticed that when Jesus died on the cross He was a bridge between people and God, He saved us from our sin.

We had some fantastic acting and understanding this week in R.E. We put the story of Easter on a time line in the correct order and talked about the importance of each part.
The children worked in groups to act out a section of the story. They all did amazingly well and came out with some great ideas about what the characters, animals or objects may have been feeling or what they said.
