Easter Winners - See the Winners of Mr Smith's First Prize Challenge

Every fortnight Mr Smith is setting all students a prize challenge. Here are the winners from our first challenge: to use your imagination and creativity to produce something artistic on the theme of Easter. Well done to all our entrants and winners!

Year 6 - Matilda 

Matilda wrote this lovely poem, which she called 'The Great Truth of Easter'.

Now eggs and bunnies are near,

Let me tell you the reason of this great cheer

Once an egg is hatched you see,

A chick is what represents new life

For you and me.

Jesus died and was buried three days,

And on Easter morning he was raised.

This shows that when we die , we can get to live again,

Jesus gives new life to all of God’s children

Remember bunnies are part of Easter too,

They’re born in the spring when all is new

So as you gather you’re treats and have fun

Let them remind you of all God had done!


Year 7 - Jasahanpreet

Jashanpreet says: "I decided to do the challenge to make a papier mΓ’chΓ© egg and I also decorated it a lot. I also decorated an old shoe box so It could look like and Easter egg package." Great work, Jashanpreet!
