Year 2 & 3 Explores the Easter Season Through Art!

Year 2 have been learning about the events that took place on Easter Sunday, when Mary of Magdala and other women went to visit Jesus’ tomb on Sunday morning. They engaged in role playing the events of the story. Here the children are acting out the reactions and feelings that the women experienced when they realised that the stone had been rolled away and Jesus’ body was not in the tomb.

Students then had the choice to write a news article or a diary entry to demonstrate their understanding of these events.

Year 3 students have been diving deep into understanding the Liturgical season of Easter. To consolidate their learning and express their creativity, they recently completed a task: designing a poster to represent this significant time in the Church calendar.

We were so impressed with the thought and effort that went into each poster! Students were challenged to include a variety of elements, such as words, symbols, images, and actions that are central to Easter. They also thoughtfully considered their use of colour to convey meaning and emotion. A key part of the activity was for students to either annotate or describe within their poster, how their chosen elements effectively represented the Easter Season.

These posters are a beautiful reflection of your children's growing understanding of faith and their ability to express complex ideas visually. We encourage you to ask your child about their poster and what they learned during this engaging activity!
