This term we will learn about the Resurrection of Jesus and its message. We learn that Easter is the most important Christian feast because Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday and ascended into Heaven on Ascension day.

We will be introduced to Thomas the apostle and reflect on the importance of his story.
