As part of their topic on Easter in RME, P1-4 have been learning all about Easter traditions.\u00a0 They learned the significance of the Easter egg as\u00a0a symbol of the rock that was rolled away from Jesus’ tomb which was empty as Jesus had risen from the dead!\u00a0 They consolidated learning on symmetry and how both sides must be the ‘mirror image’ of each other!\u00a0 Everyone chose the level of difficulty for their symmetrical egg and gave it a go – they did a fabulous job making both sides the same!<\/p>\n
And since it was Mrs Henry’s last Monday with the class before the holidays, she asked the boys and girls what they wanted to do for Easter.\u00a0\u00a0 They voted for a Maths Easter Hunt and egg rolling!\u00a0 So… the p7’s hid a selection of maths challenge cards around the playground and P1-4 worked in pairs to find the cards and answer the questions.\u00a0 The sun was shining so it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon!<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, the children rolled their fabulously decorated hard boiled eggs to see who could roll the furthers and stay intact (as much as possible!).\u00a0 Murray’s travelled the furthest distance so he was egg rolling champion! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\t\t
