Good Morning everyone!

Hope you’re keeping in contact through messages and calls with family and friends 🙂

Today, you are going to listen to Ch 15. Yesterday’s chapter was sad. Can you recap through discussion, written explanation or through illustrations, what had happened in Ch 14?

 

Activity: 

I can make notes about the changes of weather throughout the Ch. (drawings, verbally or written or all 3)

(Was it light/ dark? what colours could they see? when? why did the author do this? What does light symbolise? what does darkness symbolise?)

Listen to Ch 15:

Challenge: I can compare and contrast the events in this chapter with the religious stories of Christianity. (Hint- think about Jesus).

This can be done as a table, written passage, drawings, handwriting piece and you can copy it out and annotate it- remember letter size and joins. 

In the section below, I would like you highlight key words which link to the story of Jesus (think about Easter).

The rising of the sun had made everything look so different – all colours and shadows were changed – that for a moment they didn’t see the important thing. Then they did. The Stone Table was broken into two pieces by a great crack that ran down it from end to end; and there was no Aslan.

“Oh, oh, oh!” cried the two girls, rushing back to the Table.

“Oh, it’s too bad,” sobbed Lucy; “they might have left the body alone.”

“Who’s done it?” cried Susan. “What does it mean? Is it magic?”

“Yes!” said a great voice behind their backs. “It is more mgic.” They looked round. There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

“Oh, Aslan!” cried both the children, staring up at him, almost as much frightened as they were glad.

“Aren’t you dead then, dear Aslan?” said Lucy.

“Not now,” said Aslan.

“You’re not a – not a – ?” asked Susan in a shaky voice. She couldn’t bring herself to say the word ghost. Aslan stooped his golden head and licked her forehead. The warmth of his breath and a rich sort of smell that seemed to hang about his hair came all over her.

“Do I look it?” he said.

“Oh, you’re real, you’re real! Oh Aslan!” cried Lucy, and both girls flung themselves upon him and covered him with kisses.

Finisher:

Watch this clip:

C.S. Lewis uses a symbolising throughout the book. In Ch 5 there are a few links to Christianity, Jesus and the Easter story in particular. Can you explain these links verbally to someone. What does the Easter story and CH 15 have in common? Who does Aslan symbolise?
