How My Family Celebrates Easter

Our family does something probably different than what other people do. For Easter we have something called Easter week or holy week. Each day of that week is something different. On Friday we had the station of cross and on Saturday that was the day we celebrated when Jesus had risen from the dead. On Easter Sunday our church community comes together and celebrate EASTER! We give a lot of Easter eggs out and then PRAY! This is how our family celebrates EASTER!

Our Burrito

In class our lovely year 6’s made us some yummy and delicious burritos. I loved the the meat and the yummy vegetables in it. My favourite ingredient used in the burrito was the MEAT!

Here are the photos of the burritos we ate.
