Four Year 5 classes from Newbury Park Primary School used the Easter Activity Stations at St John's Seven Kings. Here is Geoff Eze, our curate, with the station on Forgiveness.
After thinking about the way in which Jesus said, "Forgive them, Father, for they do not know what they are doing," this Station involved the children asked themselves the following questions:
1. Have you ever been hurt by anybody?
2. Do you need to forgive them?
They then wrote a list of who and what they needed to forgive and stuck this to felt boards by the cross on the altar.
We introduced the Stations with Jesus' analogy of his death and resurrection being like a buried seed bringing forth new life. Children, teachers and classroom assistants all seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the opportunity to learn about and from Easter in this way.
