Holy Week Boxes

1 April 2021 (by Victoria Woosey)

Throughout the week, the teachers and children have been learning about the events of Holy Week using a few simple props in a tiny cardboard box.

The children have been able to retell the events using miniature palm leaves, gold coins, a table cloth, a pipe cleaner cross and a tiny piece of cloth. The box has been a donkey, a stall in the temple, a table for the Last Supper, a road, a sealed tomb and an open tomb. They have listened to or read readings from The Bible and shown a growing understanding of why Holy Week is Holy. 

Thank you to everyone who has listened carefully and enjoyed using these to understand Jesus’ final few days more deeply. Mrs Woosey
