edit: sorry slightly unhelpful I know. If it really just says 'week' then to me that is a calendar week (7 consecutive days), and no more.
Principle is the same, what is in the contract?, if it is silent then talk to the client.

A couple of things:
(1) "a week", to most reasonable people, can mean "at least a week". So if you take the initiative and say your last working day will be the Wednesday after Easter, I'd be surprised if they pushed back at you.
(2) you are talking about the date on which your contract ends, and if your contract is like most IT contracts, it is a framework agreement saying under what terms any days worked are to be treated/performed/paid. You can't assume that your bum will be required to be in contact with a client's seat, and therefore chargeable, on all of those days. So in theory (and depending on your contract terms) you, or the client, could decide that the number of days actually worked during the notice period is 0.

Negotiate it with your client to find a solution that suits you both best.
Just out of interest isn't giving your notice in on Monday means the period starts Tuesday as Monday won't be counted as a full day?

OR
2) Invoice and work 5 days, and give my staff pass/laptop back on Wednesday after Easter?

If your contract is silent on the matter, you need to discuss with your client not a bunch of randoms on the interweb thingy like me...
