Our Easter Breakfast
To celebrate Easter we had an Easter breakfast in the EYFS. We had chocolate eggs, pancakes, ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was Yummy!
We then had an Easter disco playing party games and dancing. We had a lot of fun!
Our special guest!
The Easter Bunny came to visit us. He gave us all an Easter egg and he joined in with our dancing and party games.
The children enjoyed the Easter breakfast and meeting the Easter Bunny. They mostly enjoyed having the opportunity to celebrate and have fun together.
Leading up to the celebration of Easter the children had been learning about their own experience of ‘growing’ and how they feel about ‘growing’. They were able to discuss and be able to say what they wonder about growing, in themselves and in nature. They learnt about the stories of Good Friday and Easter Sunday, the Cross, the words of the sign of the cross, the Easter garden and that Christians try to
‘grow more like Jesus’.
They were taught that :
• Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent.
• lent: a time to grow in love to be more like Jesus and to look forward to Easter.
• Jesus who is the example we follow in goodness, love, care and helpfulness.
• lent is a time for prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
• Jesus died on Good Friday.
• Jesus rose from the dead at Easter.
- Easter is the church’s celebration of Jesus’ new life.
