Through Holy Week with the Juniors
Mrs Van Der Merwe, Form Teacher, Lower I, takes us through Holy Week with Upper I and Lower I. The girls in both classes have made Holy Week bracelets to support their learning about the events and importance of Holy Week, which is also part of our R.E. curriculum.
In Upper I the bracelets were in the style of a traditional wooden saint bracelet with pictures from Holy Week instead of the saints. In Lower I symbols of Holy Week were attached to the core bracelets.
Here are some of the thoughts of the pupils in Lower I:
“The bracelet reminds me of Jesus and all the things he did in Holy week.” Lucy Kerr; “I wore it to my first reconciliation.” Ivy Lo; “It was easy to make and when you look at the pictures it tells you the story” Hannah Story;
And one final comment: “My bracelet reminds me that God loves me.”
With best wishes for a Happy and Holy Easter from Upper I and Lower I.
