Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to identify and describe how Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem, a template to design and make a card to welcome Jesus to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and a worksheet to select greetings to add to a card celebrating Easter.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore a story from the Bible about the Easter story to identify how religious beliefs can be expressed through symbols.

This lesson is part of a religious education scheme of work to get the children to identify, describe and illustrate how families can demonstrate and celebrate their beliefs about God through special religious celebrations at Easter. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
