The morning children recently enjoyed a visit from Suzie’s Mum who told us all about how Easter is celebrated in Poland. Some of the traditions are similar to ours, such as Easter cards and decorated boiled eggs, but her family also makes decorations for their home and the church is usually decorated with flowers. We loved some of the decorations that Suzie’s great aunt made from paper and it was very kind of her to make us a beautiful bird to display in Nursery. Suzie’s family in Poland take food to church in a decorated basket and, once the food has been blessed, it is part of a big celebration meal which normally includes ham and eggs.
We would like to thank Suzie’s Mum for taking the time to talk to us about Easter in Poland. It was very interesting for children and staff.
