Create a plant – can you create or build a plant? Can you label the different parts? You can make this out of junk modelling, paper/card, lego etc. or you can use your artistic skills to draw this!

REIt’s still Easter!

A great symbol of Easter is the Easter or Paschal Candle. A sign that Jesus, the Light of the World, is still with us, a light shining to others. This video explains its symbolism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PnqIEwb3c8

Create a 3D Paschal candle including the important symbols.

BIG QUESTION: How will you try and show others what it means to be a follower of Jesus?
