Fom Easter to Pentecost

Children will explore the season of Easter as the celebration of the resurrection and coming of the Spirit. The season of Easter begins with Easter Sunday and finishes with Pentecost. The stories of the Season of Easter are our ‘Gold Star’ stories as they show us that Jesus was not just an ordinary person – He rose from the dead and came alive again! Without the resurrection the Church would not have begun.

The children will be:

Hearing the stories of the Easter season
Coming to know that God loves each one always and at all times

Experiencing that a Church is a special place where God’s people gather to pray.

Experiencing liturgical celebrations in a variety of simple settings.
Experiencing and recognise prayer is talking and listening to God
Considering ways in which a Christian family and parish share and celebrate life, and show care for one another.

It is hoped that pupils will develop:

An awareness of the events of the Easter
A sense of joy and wonder
An openness to God’s Holy Spirit celebrated at Pentecost
