Study of Religions - Lent and Easter: 9 Lesson Plans (Year3-4)

In this unit, we will explore important stories and traditions in the Catholic faith, focusing on the events leading up to and including Easter. You will learn about special days like Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, and Good Friday, and how these events help Christians prepare for Easter. Together, we will discuss why these days are so important and what they teach us about being kind, giving to others, and reflecting on our actions.

Through hands-on activities like creating crafts, acting out stories, and even making and decorating pancakes, we will explore what these special days mean and how people celebrate them. You will also learn about the Stations of the Cross and the Easter story, where we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, a time of great joy and hope for Christians.

By the end of this unit, you will have a better understanding of these special days and their significance in the Catholic religion, while also learning valuable lessons about kindness, reflection, and celebration.
