Easter Fun in Primary One.

For the past few weeks we have been learning about Easter. The minister from East Kirk called Julia came and told us about the Easter Story. We learned all about what happened to Jesus. We talked about this in our class and looked at the story again. It is a sad story because Jesus was killed. But the story has a very happy ending, because Jesus came back to life and visited his friends. Then he went up to Heaven to be with God.

We started to think of ways that we celebrate Easter.  We made Easter Baskets out of clay, we painted them with sticky glue and then we filled them with straw, chicks and peedie chocolates. We also made Easter Cards and Chocolate Nests.

We licked the spoon when we were done!

Julia Told us that giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life in the Spring Time. We had an egg decorating competition. We came up with the ideas all by ourselves and we got a bit of help from our families to make them. There were animals, gardens, footballers, aliens, spiderman and lots more. This is how they looked....

Miss Dennison judged the competition and handed out the prizes for first, second and third. We were all very proud of our eggs and models it was fun making them with our families.

First Prize - Congratulations!

Second Prize - Eggcelent!

Third Prize - Well Done!

On Friday afternoon we made popcorn and watched a d.v.d instead of our normal Golden Time. Some of us watched the Gruffalo's Child and some of us watched Cars - Mater Tales. Both films were really funny and we enjoyed eating our popcorn while we watched.

Before we went home we had two Easter Hunts. One was hunting eggs with sums on them inside the school and the other one was finding coloured eggs in teams out in the front playground.  The Primary Sevens came down to help us with the egg hunts which was great because it was a bit tricky to find them all!

Happy Easter Holidays Everyone! Remember to roll your hard boiled eggs on Easter Sunday....
