As we have been seeing in class this week, the children of France are waiting patiently, at this time of year, for the coming of Easter. Tradition states that from Good Friday to Easter Sunday morning no church bells are ringing anywhere in the country. This is because the bells have flown away to Rome, in Italy. On their return home the bells will ring loudly to let children know that Easter has arrived and to come outside and search for the treats that they have brought with them.
Children, all over France, then take part in a hunt for Easter eggs and other wonderful chocolate creations and celebrate their special day with family.
The flying Easter bells are a true symbol that Easter has arrived in France! Look at the photographs below to see the wonderful cards the Year 3 children created to reflect their learning of this legend and celebrate the forthcoming holiday.
Joyeuses Pâques!!
