This week, learned all about Holy Week and the events leading up to Easter. The children enjoyed discussing the sequence of events that took place during Holy Week and were excited to watch their Grade Seven buddies re-enact the Last Supper this morning as well as attend the Stations of the Cross service this afternoon. They were able to make meaningful connections between what they were seeing with what they were learning in class! They also made Holy Week crosses which are now displayed in their cubbies as a reminder of Jesus’ love and the sacrifices He has made for us. We wish you all a blessed Easter Weekend!
