Easter Play 2008

The Easter Play was performed by Years 3, 4 and 5, where they enacted Holy Week, showing us Jesus's last few days before he died on the cross.

Year 3 opened the play by telling us about Jesus's life. Then Year 5 performed His entry into Jerusalem.

Year 4 acted the Last Supper and a very moving performance of Jesus's journey carrying the cross was enacted by Gregory in Year 5.

The children only had a week to learn their parts but worked hard to put on an excellent performance which clearly impressed all the parents who attended.

The photographs below show scenes from our Easter Play.
