Primary 6 Kabbalat Shabbat

May 10, 2017 User deactivated Leave a comment

On the Friday 28^th of April, Primary 6 organised Kabbalat Shabbat. The theme of our Kabbalat Shabbat was grape juice (Kiddush), this is what we drink on Shabbat.

We began by singing some Shabbat songs. Then Aba (Daniel) and Ima (Flora) blessed the children (Ava and Esther). After that we sang some more songs which was followed by a Q&A about the grape juice.

A funny moment was when Louis accidentally spilt his juice, it was hilarious. After that Aba said Kiddush and Challah and we all got to eat and drink. To end Kabbalat Shabbat we sang our favourite song, Bim Bom. It was a great Kabbalat Shabbat and we all enjoyed it as much as everyone else did. Thank you to all of our parents who came along to watch!

Purim Preparations

March 10, 2017 User deactivated Leave a comment

As Purim was fast approaching, Primary 6 were chosen to bake Hamantaschen. A hamantash is a triangular shaped, filled-pocket cookie or pastry which is usually associated with the Jewish holiday of Purim which is on Sunday. They are shaped after Haman’s ears. Primary 1 also joined us to help bake. Mrs Rosenberg grouped us so that we were able to support the younger children. She demonstrated how to make a hamantash and then we all got to have a go ourselves. Some were filled with jam and others filled with chocolate chips. We all enjoyed baking and working with the Primary 1 class.

Chanukah Art

December 21, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

In preparation for Chanukah we have been doing lots of Chanukah art to display around our school. Chanukah is a Jewish holiday celebrated for eight days and nights. It starts on the 25th of the Jewish month of Kislev. Primary 6 created art work to put on our classroom windows (stained glass). We thought it would be a nice idea to create a Chanukiah around our display. Check it out below!

Yom Kippur Assembly

This week we presented our Yom Kippur assembly and play. The play was about Yonah and the whale. We performed at 1:15pm. We had a huge audience filled with parents, all the classes and the nursery too. It was a really fun day. Everyone remembered their lines, songs and actions. All of our practising paid off in the end!

The Festival of Eid

September 21, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

This week some of our pupils were off for Eid. Eid was on Monday the 12^th of September. It is a religious festival of sacrificing meat! It is called Eid al-Adha.

It comes from the story of when a man travels up a hill to sacrifice his son when is ordered to by G-D, but as he was about to slay his son an angel stopped him and he sacrificed a lamb instead!

Many of the children celebrating spent the day dressed in their best clothes, going to the mosque for prayers, visiting family and friends and eating lots of yummy food. Some got presents and money too! They also gave meat to each other to represent the lamb that was slayed.

And that’s the story of Eid!

Over and out!
