Here is the poster we made of Jesus entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Our talented artist R.R. drew the centre picture.

What are the green hand prints meant to be?

Why did Jesus enter Jerusalem on a little donkey?

Two boys in our class had very good answers.

FH said: "Because he wanted to be like his people."

Not everyone could afford a big horse but most people had donkeys for work. Jesus wanted his people to know that he was just like them and that he was not better than them.

DOD said: " 'Cos donkeys are very good at walking and donkeys are an animal of peace and a horse is an animal of war."

He is right! A king would usually return home from war on a horse but Jesus wanted everyone to know that he brought peace and love. Most people except the priests and soldiers were extremely glad to see him and welcomed him by putting palm leaves in front of him.
