The Meaning of El Salvador Crosses

Continuing work on Christianity and symbols this lesson was written for Year Threes to explain the symbolism behind the El Salvador Crosses. Children think of enquiry questions about their cross and discuss it with the class. We also look at the Maria Gomez cross. Children discuss how learning about these crosses helps their understanding of Jesus, Christianity and themselves. The session leads into an extended art session where the children make their own A1 size painted crosses. (Makes a lovely school display ready for Easter!)
