Class 3's Spring Term Highlights
Spring 2021
Spring Two
Our topic this half term has been our Easter Eggtravaganza!
In English the children learnt about each day of the Holy Week and wrote play scripts retell the stories. As part of our learning we discussed the sacrifices Jesus made and why Good Friday is known as Good Friday even though it was a sad time for Jesus's followers.
After writing their scripts the children acted out the scenes and filmed their Easter Story Play. Once it was filmed the children put each scene together and edited their performance using Adobe Spark.
