Year 6 Wokingham Baptist Church Easter Experience
Year 6 was provided with a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the Christian celebration of Easter when they attended the live Easter Experience at the Wokingham Baptist Church on 22nd March.
Windmill was incredibly fortunate to be invited to this event as it was the first time it had been held in three years!
Greeted by a number of parish volunteers in period dress, Year 6 was moved through a variety of scenes emulating what Jesus would have experienced during the last days of his life. Through this re-enactment, we were able to visit Jerusalem, Golgotha and the Gardens of Gethsemane. The children were able to participate in a number of the activities, serving as members of the crowd in Jerusalem and even as Jesus's donkey!
The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Most were unfamiliar with the events that took place during Holy Week but came away with a clear understanding of why Easter is so important to Christians around the world.
