Students share their families’ Easter celebrations. Easter is a Family Day. It’s about family, faith, love and time of togetherness and reflection. It is worth to remember that “The joy of love experienced by families is also the joy of the church.” These questions will help you to tell about Easter Day.


Have you read The Tale of Peter Rabbit? It’s a very famous children’s
book, written by Beatrix Potter.
Beatrix was born in 1866. She and her brother kept many small
animals as pets – rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, mice, frogs and
even bats! They both liked to draw their pets, but Beatrix liked
drawing animals from her own imagination most. She also loved
exploring and drawing nature when they visited beautiful places like Scotland and the Lake District.
Beatrix was very smart, and studied archaeological artefacts, fossils and insects, but she was
especially interested in mycology – the study of mushrooms! She even wrote a scientific paper
about it, but women at that time couldn’t be scientists.
To earn some money, Beatrix started drawing cards with animals. She liked writing and illustrating letters too. One day, she wrote a letter to her friend’s son, and told the story of Peter Rabbit.
She decided to make the story into a book. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in 1902 – and it
was a great success! She wrote, illustrated and published many more books. She also created dolls,
painting books, games and other items based on her characters.
In 1905, Beatrix bought a farm in the Lake District. She learned about farming and bought more
farms and land to help preserve the landscape. She enjoyed country life very much, and was very
active in protecting the environment.
When Beatrix died, she left almost all her farms and land to the National Trust, a charity which
protects historic places and landscapes. You can even visit Hill Top Farm today, which is exactly like
it was when Beatrix lived there!
So if you haven’t read The Tale of Peter Rabbit, or other Beatrix Potter books, why not visit your local
library or bookshop today!

Elizabeth was born nearly 500 years ago, in 1533. Her father, King
Henry VIII, had six wives. When Elizabeth was two, her father ordered
her mother’s execution.
‘Off with her head!’
Elizabeth was very clever, but she had a difficult childhood with her
bad-tempered father and so many stepmothers. She was put in
prison in the Tower of London for two months when she was twenty. Elizabeth became queen in 1558.
‘Your sister is dead. You are the new queen.’
The English people liked Elizabeth and called her ‘Good Queen Bess’. But Elizabeth was often badtempered and bossy.
‘I said give me my wig!’
Elizabeth sent explorers sailing around the world. In 1577, Sir Francis Drake set sail in his ship, the
Pelican.
‘Goodbye, Francis. Discover some new countries and bring me back some Spanish treasure!’
In 1588, the Spanish king sent a huge fleet of ships to attack England. It was called ‘the Spanish
Armada’. Elizabeth gave a famous speech to inspire her army.
‘My loving people! I know I have the body of a weak woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a
king. I will live or die amongst you all, but I know we shall have a famous victory!’
Spain lost the battle.
Elizabeth’s cousin, Mary, was Queen of Scotland. Mary had to run away from Scotland and she asked
Elizabeth to protect her.
‘Please protect me, Elizabeth!’
Elizabeth was afraid that Mary wanted to become Queen of England. She locked Mary up. Nineteen
years later she ordered Mary’s execution.
‘Off with her head!’
Elizabeth was queen for 45 years. It was a golden age for England. She died in 1603, aged 70, and
James I, Mary’s son, became king.
‘Queen Elizabeth is dead. Long live King James!’
