My Magnificent Easter Story Wreath!

Have you made a Easter Story Wreath before? 
Today for Religious Education, I created a Wreath based off the Easter Story of Jesus. 7 events happened, which was in a duration of 7 days, which is called "Holy Week". 

We made the wreath by shaping it into a round circle like an Advent wreath using two plates with different sizes by using paper, coloured in cutouts with felts and coloring pencils and cut out quotes, and assembled and glued the pieces on the ring. We watched a video and a presentation briefing about the history and where everything took place, I used this information as a guide to place all the cutouts in order so everything would look coordinated. Each of us students in our class made a short Flipgrid video explaining the events in detail too.  

The series of events started from Jesus entering Jerusalem, then the Last Supper with his disciples, Jesus praying in a garden in Gethsemane, the crucifixion of Jesus, his resurrection, Jesus' ascension, and the Holy Spirit coming down.

Finally is the wreath I have created, I hope you like it! Please do comment if you have any questions. 

Hot Cross Bun Making with the class!

Hello everyone! On Week 10 Term 1 of school, before Holy Week, our class created Hot cross buns! The other senior and junior classes created hot cross buns too, but I believe our class' idea was even more creative. For our idea we created a giant hot cross bun in which we used a bread maker instead of an oven. 

We started off with the basics. Yeast, white sugar, salt, wholemeal flour & flour, eggs for the dough. I will be posting the link to the site to make hot cross buns in the end! Anyway, each of us in the class took turns putting in a portion of the ingredients into the maker, kneading the dough and adding spices.

The hot cross bun reminds us of the spices, the cross, the shape of the bread, and the raisins and bread itself. The cross reminds us of the time Jesus dies on the cross on Good Friday. The raisins and bread resembling the body and blood of Jesus Christ, and the Last Supper, where Jesus takes the bread and breaks it, and took the wine and shared it with the disciples. Lastly, the spices resemble the time where he was layed in the tomb after he died and was moved from the cross, was wrapped in a cloth, and his body was rubbed in spices. The round shape of the bread shows the shape of the rock that was rolled away from the tomb when Jesus was risen from the dead. 

The making took awhile, but if we just waited, we were going to be able to have our finished product! As it was taken out of the maker and placed on the wood board the aroma of the food stretched off in the classroom, the smell of the spices filled my nose. And to be able to share the item with the class our teacher cut off the bread in pieces that would be enough for the pupils, we had also gathered butter and jam to spread on the piece of slice. Sharing the food item reminded me of Jesus breaking the bread and sharing it with his disciples. This day was a memorable time of all, we surrounded the loaf of bread with cloth and prayer table items, to make the space looking lovely. 

Finally, is the collage, our last task was to make a photo collage on our google drawing, and I would love to show my creation with you guys. So here is my one:
