Painting the Last Supper in Year 4 and 5

Lesson: Religious education

Class: Year 4 Year: 2024 - 2025

In our Religious Education lesson we described what happened at the Last Supper and why it was significant. We talked about how the events of the Exodus where celebrated each year in Jesus' life but why this time was different. We talked about how he  introduced something quite new as he blessed, broke and passed the unleavened bread to everyone, telling them it was his body and then the cup of wine saying it was his blood and that it would be shed, be sacrificed, for everyone and that he asked that they repeat his actions in memory of him.

We then looked at different artists representations of the Last Supper and talked about the similarities and differences of these. We then talked about these and used some of these ideas and techniques when we created our own representations of the Last Supper using water colours.
