This morning, Year 3 participated in a "Great Big Live Assembly" alongside hosts Krish and Gemma to explore the global significance of Easter. The session kicked off on a high note with a visit from Krish’s two-week-old kittens before diving into the fact that over 2 billion people celebrate the holiday worldwide. The students explored Easter through the lens of literature, learning about the Easter story of the resurrection, written by Charles Dickens for his own children to highlight themes of mercy and love and the story of Christ's resurrection.
The interactive session kept everyone engaged with a virtual quiz and  "Easter egg" hunt involving artwork from the National Gallery. The assembly also featured a visit with Olivia from a school in Grantham and concluded with a student-led prayer centered on forgiveness and second chances, followed by a reading from Michael Rosen’s poetry collection, On the Move: Poems about Migration.
