There was a range of emotions between and our wonderful English language had many words to describe these feelings. Children looked pieces of art depicting the Easter story in various styles and from various periods - they looked and thought about what emotion the artist was trying to show. What emotion are the people in the painting feeling? What emotion did it make us feel when we saw it? This was a great way to start of the topic and get children thinking about how the Easter story is neither just 'sad' or 'happy', but a range of different emotions for different reasons. ### RE MS 24.02.23 [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2682.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2682.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2683.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2683.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2684.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2684.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2686.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2686.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2687.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2687.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2690.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2690.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2693.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2693.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2695.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2695.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2696.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2696.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2697.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/re-ms-24-02-23/IMG_2697.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_2713.JPG)](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2023-02-24-15-44-05-maps) Previous ### [Maps!](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2023-02-24-15-44-05-maps) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/100x100c/blog/2768AC31-9C4B-4CCC-9012-AD92CD8A04F2.jpeg)](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2023-03-01-13-15-00-tudor-workshop-22-02-23) Next ### [Tudor Workshop 22.02.23](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2023-03-01-13-15-00-tudor-workshop-22-02-23) ##### Location Preston Road Inskip Preston Lancashire PR4 0TT ##### Contact Us 01772 690438 © Copyright 2025–2026 Inskip St Peter's C of E (Aided) Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
