We had a visit from an RE Storyteller who went through different workshops with Reception, Year 1/2, Year 3, Year 5 and Year 6 about components of the Easter story.
The children were really enjoyed the stories and asked lots of questions.
We have been enhancing our RE teaching this half term through the use of stories. Some year groups have been lucky enough to have a very special visitor, Elizabeth, who came to lead a workshop with each class.
Reception have had a storyteller in to tell the story of the Three Trees for RE. This version of the folktale ‘Three Tall Trees’ sensitively introduces EYFS children to the Easter story, whilst also placing it in context with the story of Jesus. Incorporating actions and call and response, pupils were given the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of the Easter story for Christians.
Year 3 have had the opportunity to go through the story of Palm Sunday with the storyteller to look at the entrance into Jerusalem from a disciples perspective. Whereas, Year 5 have discussed the events leading to and after the Last Supper.
Each year group posed a question to Rev. Paul relating to their current topic questions for R.E. Watch the video below to see his answers.
Look out for a special guest appearance from Maisie the dog too!

This week in Reception we have celebrated Pancake Day by making our very own delicious pancakes.
We first, looked at a recipe to find which ingredients we needed and wrote shopping lists. We added the toppings we would like to the lists in the hope the teachers might treat us! Some of us requested whipped cream and strawberries!
On Shrove Tuesday we ordered the instructions and learnt to recite them using actions and sequencing words.
We all worked very sensibly in our cooking teams when making our pancakes.
The most exciting part was when we got to eat our pancakes. We thought they were yummy, delicious, nice, tasty and scrumptious.
Over the rest of the week we have learnt about how instructions are bossy and have time words. We have had a go at writing our own instructions.
