R.E. Learning for the weeks of 30th March and 6th April
Over these two weeks, please look at the resources below to find out about the events around Holy Week.
Holy Week is the last week of Lent and tells the story of how Jesus came to Jerusalem and was betrayed by a friend, arrested and sentenced to death. The Holy Week story ends on Good Friday, the day that Christians celebrate the death of Jesus.
During the 2 weeks, choose 2 of the tasks assigned to your class and complete them in your exercise book, or even in a blank Word document and email them back to your class email address. (If completed in your book, a photograph could be emailed.)
Easter falls on 12th April this year. We will post some learning about this on the week of the 20th April, which marks the end of the Easter holiday.
