Grade 7/8s heard the Easter story and recreated what Jerusalem would've looked like at the time of Jesus. We discussed the significance of each room. Students then explored Bible passages relating to each day of holy week and each significant place. Great job 👍 @lclightmilton

Moving on from analyzing stories to now working together to create stories. We are creating stories around types of conflict we see in our school and community. Students have begun today by determining their conflict, protagonist/antagonist and settings ✏️ @lclightmilton

Students analyzed characters from various stories. They then created Facebook Profile cubes for the protagonist of their chosen story. Way to go 6/7/8s! @lclightmilton
