Pennington School - One, Two where is the third cross?

This morning Sarah and I went to Pennington School and did our Easter Assembly.  As usual with this assembly we didn't start with a song instead Sarah went straight in to talk about the collection of Easter Eggs we had taken into school.  The children at the front got rather excited by them (perhaps they thought we might give them away) She told the children about the eggs but focused on the plastic egg that had the little metal cross in it.  This was made from nails and reminded us about the cross of Jesus.  She then told the story of Good Friday and how Jesus was crucified between two criminals, meanwhile I held up three crosses, at the point when they die I placed them into a tomb.  As the story moved on two of the crosses came out of the tomb but the red one that was for Jesus didn't instead a card read He is not here and the back said He is risen, the tomb was then shown empty.  Sarah reminded the children that eggs are given to represent New Life, the eggs are empty reminding us of the empty tomb.  We then sang Inright Outright before finishing with a prayer.
