Easter Bonnet Parade
Early years and KS1 enjoyed some exciting Easter activities on Tuesday.
The day started with an egg rolling competition in Reception, where the children rolled their hard boiled eggs across the playground, trying to get their egg to land nearest to the Easter egg target. Hannah and Maddie were victorious, but all the children enjoyed the challenge and lots of interesting techniques arose!
The Easter Bunny had been hard at work in the woods, and all year groups enjoyed searching for the Easter eggs, which he had thoughtfully left behind. This was certainly the highlight of the day for many, and we had some very vigilant Easter egg hunters! The eggs came in all sorts of colours, shapes and sizes, and were found in some unusual places! Fortunately we were very thorough and every class ended up with a sizeable collection to share out.
In the afternoon, we gathered in the chapel for the Easter Bonnet parade, which made a particularly colourful end to the day. Everyone had worked very hard on their Easter bonnets and had put a lot of thought into their designs. The children wore their hats proudly and were keen to explain their creations! The standard was extremely high and it was very hard to choose prize winners, although special congratulations should go to Ruby, Schyler, Millie, Olivia, Oscar and Imogen who had some particularly imaginative designs! We were also lucky to have each class share a song or poem about Easter and New Life, and this proved to be an excellent way of reflecting on the meaning behind some of the fun events we had enjoyed, and provided a perfect end to the day!
