Why do Christians believe that Easter is all about love?

Reception and pre school will learn that: Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday. Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday. they will find out that Christians believe that Jesus rose on Easter Day and is alive today and that Easter is the most important time of the year for the Church.

The year one and two children will consider the question,

What do you think is the most important part of the Easter Story?

Christian Concepts

God – Creation – Fall – People of God – Incarnation – Gospel – SALVATION – Kingdom of God

The aim of this unit is to:

• give children an opportunity to reflect upon the miracles of nature and new life during springtime.
• for pupils to hear and be able to retell the Easter Story.
• make links between the transformation of plants and animals and the Easter story in order to develop an understanding of the resurrection.

RE – Unit 2.3: 

Why Did Jesus Welcome Everyone?

In this unit, children explore stories from the New Testament to learn about Jesus and his message of kindness, compassion and welcome. They will discover why Christians believe Jesus welcomed everyone as a friend and how his actions showed care for others.

Children will learn about miracles and why these stories are important to Christian belief. Through discussion, artwork and drama, they will reflect on what Jesus’ behaviour teaches about treating others with respect and understanding.

Christian values explored: friendship, compassion, faith and hope.
