EASTER EGG HUNT

On Friday we were lucky enough to have a visit from THE EASTER BUNNY who hid chocolate eggs around the playground for us to find.
Each egg had a name on it so once we had found one, we had to hand it to its owner. In years 3 and 4, we got into the Easter spirit by making bunny ears to wear for the Egg Hunt. In years 1 and 2, we made our own Easter egg designs. In years 5 and 6, we learn about Easter traditions in the UK. It was really great fun!!!
Here you can see some pictures.

HAPPY EASTER

EASTER is the most important festival in the church year, most important than Christmas. People begin to get ready forty days before Easter Sunday. This forty days are called LENT.
HOT CROSS BUNS are traditionally served on Good Friday. They are made of flour, sugar, butter, egg and dried fruit with pastry crosses.

There is also a traditional song:

Hot cross buns, hot cross buns,
one a penny, two a penny,
hot cross buns.
If you have no daughters,
give them to your sons,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

Some animals we associate with Easter are chicks, bunnies and butterflies that represent re-birth, fertility and new life.
