We have had a rich time of reading and discussing the first ten chapters of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe this week.
We have already fallen in love with the Pevensie children...well, most of them...and have been shocked at the choices made by one of the brothers, Edmund.
Through the luring of the White Witch, we witnessed the power of sin, and the deception of it all.
The Turkish Delight tasted delicious, as sin oftentimes is "delicious" at the time, but then later leads to destruction. Edmund found himself wanting more. He "...thought only of trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight as he could, and the more he ate the more he wanted to eat..." (chapter 4).
In order to truly enter into the story, I wanted the class to try Turkish Delight for themselves.
You can definitely tell who liked it and who didn't!
Later on, Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter find themselves in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Beaver as they heard the name of Aslan for the very first time.
The meal prepared by Mrs. Beaver was boiled potatoes, trout, rolls with marmalade, and tea. As the class heard the prophesies of Aslan from Mr. Beaver, we all enjoyed our very own version of the meal with the Beavers.
(Potato chips, goldfish crackers, toast crackers with marmalade, and apple cider as "tea")
We all made a toast to Aslan in anticipation of meeting him soon in the chapters to come.
Enjoy the following pictures of your beautiful children in the land of Narnia. May each boy and girl fall deeply in love with Aslan himself, and understand the meaning of his sacrificial love to each undeserved sinner.
