Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, we cannot present a whole ‘Easter Trail’ as in recent years, but we have delivered a bag containing the ‘Easter Story’ and some special Easter-themed activities. We were in touch with all the schools in order to gauge the viability of the project and they were very thrilled to receive them. We have been working in happy collaboration with Judith Sadler and Jane Abrams from the Bellingham Deanery, both with a long and rich experience of working with young children. This year we have included the schools of Longhorsley, Whalton, Belsay, Cambo, Chollerton, Humshaugh and Wark. The bags have been given to Years 2,3,4, and in Belsay and Whalton also to their Years 5 and 6, making 305 children in all. Early Years have received an Easter egg and listened to the story. Each bag contained an explanatory leaflet for teachers and parents. They were designed to help cover the RE Syllabus |
