Newton’s Easter!

Newton’s Easter!

This weekend in over 95 countries around the world, children will wake up and search for Easter eggs and baskets full of chocolate rabbits that have been hidden by the Easter Bunny. Families will put on their best spring color clothes and get together to celebrate Easter, a holiday that welcomes in Spring. Easter represents new beginnings and something you can never have too much of, hope!

On Friday our students also put on their best spring clothes and participated in customary Easter activities and traditions.

Children were greeted in the morning by teachers dressed as the Easter bunny and giant Easter eggs.

Art is an important part of Easter culture… especially making and decorating eggs. We made a lot of eggs!

We made eggs out of air clay and some classes learned how to do Pysanka which is a traditional method of egg dying in the Ukraine and Poland where wax is drawn on real eggs and then the eggs are soaked in a mixture of water, vinegar and food coloring. The eggs are beautiful, and still edible!

From crafting paper eggs with brightly colored tissue paper to stamping them with cardboard or potatoes, our Easter Egg Art brightened up our classrooms.

Our K2 kids were very prepared for Easter this year as they helped in acting as Easter Bunnies for our little friends in Pre-Nursery and Nursery. They worked hard all week on making air clay eggs to hide for all 6 classes to find and even made carrot baskets to give to our youngest children.
They little children had a great time putting on their bunny hats and headbands, basket in hand and hunting for Easter Eggs that our K2 bunnies hid for them.

Older classes went on scavenger hunts around the school to find Easter objects and treasures hidden in trees, on the train, even under the big slide!

All of the children had a lot of fun participating in traditional Easter Games. We even had a customary Easter Tree for students and teachers to take photos with to commemorate this special day. Our first Easter!
