As part of their RE unit on Eucharist, Year 6 recreated The Last Supper using Lego. The children were asked to think about the importance of the event, both at the time and to Christians in the modern day, in order to explore their unit question 'What is the great significance of the 'Eucharist' to Christians?' The children exhibited strong knowledge of the events and described why Christians take bread and wine as part of Eucharist.
We studied how the scene has been depicted in various famous works of art before settling on Da Vinci's for inspiration.
As well as recreating the scene using Lego brick and mini-figures, the children had to create thought and speech bubbles depicting what might have been said or thought by Jesus and his disciples during the revelations made by Jesus at the meal.
