Father Christmas brings important gifts for the children to use to serve Aslan. If we compare these gifts with being a Christian and "fighting" against Satan, what do you think each of the children's gifts represents?
Activity 1
Activity 1
Write and explain
why the title of the chapter "The Spell Begins to Break" is a good title.
Do you think it was wise of Mrs Beaver to take the time to pack up supplies? Why or why not?
Draw or paint a picture of Father Christmas as he is described in the chapter.

When Edmund finally saw the Witch's true colours, it was too late - he was already a slave to her. It is similar with Satan - Satan tries to trick us into thinking we can follow his ideas, and before we know it we can be a slave to him. But Jesus gives us a way out. As winter in Narnia begins to melt, so does Edmund's heart.
Spring happens in Narnia when Aslan comes.
In the book we are told that the spell in Narnia was that it was always winter and never Christmas, and yet when Aslan comes, Christmas comes.
Can you see the connection with Christmas being the time we celebrate Jesus coming to our world? Spring is a time of new life, and we can have new life when we choose to follow Jesus.
Activity 1
Activity 1
There are 4 minibooks to complete for Chapter 11. One of them is left over from the Chapter 10 page, and the rest are from Chapter 11. Cut each of them out carefully. Remember to fold them so that the writing is on the front of the mini-book.
The "signs the spell is breaking one needs to be cut out very carefully and them folded in a zigzag way, like a fan. Look carefully at the picture to get an idea of how to do it.
Then write a different sign that the spell is breaking on each "page" of this minibook.
In the second minibook, write what the Queen gave Edmund to eat instead of Turkish Delight.
In the third minibook, copy this Bible verse:
My enemies never tell the truth. They only want to destroy people. Psalm 5v9
In the fourth minibook, copy this Bible verse which tells us who will destroy evil.
The Son of God came for this: to destroy the devil's work. 1 John 3v8

Make a newspaper page for a class newspaper about the news that Spring is coming to Narnia. You can use images of things that are mentioned in the book that are signs of spring, and you need to write in a newspaper style to explain what is happening.
Find the Pages icon on your iPad home page.
Click on the + sign at the top right of the screen, and go to the Choose a Template screen.
Scroll down till you come to a heading Newsletters.
Choose one of the 5 templates, and replace the pictures and writing with your own images and written text.
Below are four examples of pages done by previous students. Use your creativity to create your own newspaper headline and text, but make sure the information is true to what we have read in the book.
We will print up our own booklets of your different pages.

Our book this week is a type of Biography about a famous artist, although some of her paintings are a little unusual! (Click on the image below, and the click on the little icon in the top right hand corner to scroll through a number of the artists' paintings).
You will now read the book Frida Kahlo.
Frida definitely showed a lot of perseverance, pushing through the frustration of not having good health.
How can you show perseverance today in managing to do something even if you don't feel well, don't like something, or find something difficult?
If you have some spare time you might like to look at this site and try to make your own portrait, Frida Kahlo-style!

Do you think Aslan will be able to save Edmund? Why/why not? What clues in chapter 13 make you think this?
Edmund is rescued twice:
from the Witch
from the results of betraying his family and the creatures of Narnia.
Aslan is so perfect that he meets the requirements of the rules that are in all the prophecies, and is able to save Edmund's life. Who else (not in The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe) does this remind you of?
When Aslan and Edmund go for a walk, what do you think Edmund was feeling, and what do you think they said to each other?
I get the sense that Aslan used this time to forgive Edmund for his poor choices. This is just like what Jesus does for us - when we choose Him as our forever friend, and tell Him that we are sorry for our bad choices and actions, He is happy to forgive us.
In the Bible, in Hebrews 9 v 22, we are told that "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Jesus died (shed His blood) so that we could be forgiven.
Activity 1
Activity 1
Inside the Forgiveness booklet, copy this verse from Ephesians 4 v 32: Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
The mini-book with the picture of the white witch needs to be folded in three, along the solid lines, so that it can fold inwards as shown in the picture.
In the mini-book with the picture of the lion on the front, write down what you think Edmund was feeling and thinking after he went on the walk with Aslan.
In the 4th mini-book with a little book in the corner, write down what the Bible tells us about forgiveness in Isaiah 43 v 18.
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

Have you ever thought what it would be like if your parents couldn't afford a house for you to live in? It would be quite scary. This book, Fly Away Home, tells the story of a boy and his dad who were going through a difficult time in their lives and didn't have anywhere to live for a few weeks.

To think about:
Why do you think Aslan offered to die instead of Edmund? How is that like what Jesus did?
Think about all the different parts of this chapter and compare them with what happened during the last few hours of Jesus's life. Make a list of the similarities.
The Bible tells us that "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5 v 8.
At the end of this chapter, the witch is certain that she has beaten Aslan. What makes her so sure?
Why do you think Aslan didn't fight back when the Witch ordered his enemies to tie him up?

Matthew 27 v 55, 56 says: Many women were standing away from the cross, watching. These were the women who had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for him. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John were there.

How does Chapter 15 make you feel?
What has happened here in Narnia reminds me of the Easter story. The Bible tells us "Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." 1 Peter 3 v 18. Many people believe that Aslan's sacrifice instead of Edmund is like the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Think about how they were alike, and how they were different.
Why do you think Aslan roared?
The playing with Aslan reminds us of Easter Sunday, when people are happy to remember that Jesus came alive again.
God loved the world so much that He died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins, just as Aslan took the punishment for Edmund. When we believe in what Jesus did for us and we try to live our lives to please Him, we are "saved" from being punished for our own sins. We did not do anything to deserve God loving us that much. We are saved by God's love and grace.

Mini-books
Cut out the two mini-books for chapter 15.
Fold them both so that the writing is on the front cover. Inside the one that says ROAR, write why you think Aslan roared at this time (not just because he was a lion).
Read the following Bible verse before you answer inside the other booklet: Matthew 27 v 51. When Jesus died, the curtain in the temple was torn into two pieces. The tear started at the top and tore all the way to the bottom.
This curtain represents the belief people had that they needed someone to help them speak to God, but once Jesus had died, people could speak directly to Jesus and God.
NOW
Cut out the two pieces for the Villains and Heroes mini-book.
Fold the bigger piece in half, with the words inside. Then glue the Villains & Heroes piece on as a cover to your mini-book.
Inside the book, list which characters in the book you would describe as Heroes and write them on the Heroes page, and list the characters that you would describe as Villains (baddies) on the Villains page. Then glue this booklet into your folder.

The first thing that Aslan does after defeating death is to breathe life into the statues. In the Bible we are told that God sent Jesus "to proclaim freedom for the prisoners" Luke 4 v 18.
Aslan's breath changes winter to spring, stone to flesh, and despair to hope.
It is suggested that the final battle in this book represents a battle between the forces of good and evil, or between God/Jesus and Satan. Explain why you agree or disagree with this statement.
