Children worked in mixed age groups and visited different stages of the Easter story that were set up around the school and in the church. They engaged with the story and completed a variety of interactive and reflective activities. At the end of the day parents were invited to the school and the children then took their parents around the different stages to tell them about each one.

Idmiston Primary School Easter Celebrations

Children at Idmiston Primary School shared their feelings on carrying the cross: "When I was carrying the cross I felt special because it was a once in a life time opportunity to carry the cross for Jesus. It felt special even though it wasn’t real. It was quite sad really because we were going to the place where Jesus was going to die. " (Emma, Year Five)
