Easter Activities

This Easter, students enjoyed a range of fun and engaging activities designed to celebrate the holiday while encouraging creativity, teamwork, and safety awareness. The day began with a fun cooking session where they made rice crispy cakes. Using chocolate, rice cereal, and mini eggs, students crafted delicious treats to take home. This activity allowed them to practice basic cooking skills while expressing creativity in decorating their cakes.

Following Mrs. Henry’s and Kim’s baking session, there was an exciting Easter egg hunt, where children eagerly searched for hidden chocolate eggs around the school grounds. This activity encouraged physical activity and teamwork as students worked together to solve clues and collect as many eggs as possible.

A special highlight of the day was a visit from the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) mascot, Stormy Stan. He spoke to the children about water safety and the important work of the RNLI. The mascot’s appearance was both entertaining and educational, reinforcing key safety messages in an engaging way (and he even brought the children and Easter egg each!)
