As part of your RE learning and preparation for Easter, we would like you to focus on Holy Week – this is when Christians reflect on the final week of Jesus’s life. Can you complete some of the following activities, to develop your knowledge of this special time in the Liturgical Year?
- Watch a video of the Easter Story
(You will be able to find some on YouTube)

- How did the disciples feel when Jesus had risen from the dead?
Pretend that you are a disciple.
What would you say?
Write some questions. Don’t forget to start with a question word and finish with a question mark.
Draw happy/sad/confused faces to show how the disciples were feeling.
- What will your family do to celebrate Easter?
Design an Easter egg.
Make a stained glass window that you might see in a church.
Make an Easter card. Who could you give it to?
Art learning
Make a cross to symbolise Good Friday. It can be done in a variety of way: either by drawing or painting, using pastels, or make a collage cross using a variety of materials. If you prefer, you can go outside and make one using natural materials.
Fancy something different:
Create your own Easter Garden, include a simple cross, cave/tomb, add flowers and/or seeds that will grow over Easter.
