Easter Hat Parade

Imagination runs wild at our Easter Hat Parade. All the cool colourful hats are shown off in style as all grades walk around the school. There is lots of time and effort put in to these hats. It really pays off. All different ideas were put into hats, such as models of big eggs, rabbits and chickens. This all represents new life and the Ressurection of Christ. There was some very interesting hats made out of things at home.

Role plays in Religion

In Religion we have been talking about times where we have felt hurt or disappointed. Today, we used role plays to act out different scenarios where we may have felt this way. We learnt that physical hurt is not the only type of hurt we can feel and will be linking this with how Jesus felt as he died on the cross for us.
