Year 5 Weekly Blog 287.03.24- ' Into your hands Lord, I commend my spirit'

Wow! What an emotional yet exhilarating final week of the term- where we all came together as one to witness Holy Week. Each day, we came into the hall in silence and reflection as we relived the story of Jesus’s death and resurrection. Wednesday was our big day as the children had the biggest of tasks of recreating the Crucifixion of Jesus. The children were fantastic in their character roles, their emotive behaviour and their delivery of prayer and scripture.

With the end of our Holy Week in school, Year 6 closed us out with a beautiful portray of the resurrection which was followed by celebrations of an Easter Egg Hunt! With a surprise visit from our Easter bunny, they had hidden an egg for each child around the gardens of the school. The children’s quick-witted investigating skills came in handy as they all found their eggs!
