The Reception have enjoyed acting out the Easter story this week.
Our final part is, Jesus is risen! Mary Magdalene and another lady went to the tomb where Jesus’ body had been laid. When they got there, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. The tomb was empty. Jesus visited his friends before going to heaven.

The Reception children have been make crosses in the outside environment.
Jesus had to carry a heavy cross through the streets of Jerusalem. Jesus was placed between two other prisoners and died on the cross. His friends and family were very sad.

Jesus and his disciples had a meal together. This is called the Last Supper. Judas told the important people where Jesus was. Jesus was arrested.
