Last week we had lots of Chanukah celebrations.

Every school morning we lit the Chanukah candles in our classroom. We had to light the amount of candles from the night before. Then every afternoon, we went down to the hall to light the school chanukiah.

During the week, we designed and created our own chanukiahs using clay. We started by getting some clay and moulding it into the shape we wanted. (We made as many as we could.) After we moulded them, we left them to dry. The following day, we painted them and put PVA on them in order for them to Once completed, we sold them to the classes and made more than £100. We have decided to give the money to a charity called Camp Simcha.

On Friday we had a Chanukah party with Primary Four, Five and Six. Each class had to choose a game for everyone to play. Primary Four chose limbo, Primary 5 chose the hoop game, Primary 6 chose four corners and we chose the mars bar game, except that it was smarties and chopsticks!

At the party, we all had a freddo and orange juice. We all had fun at the Chanukah parties and want to do it again next year.
