In early September many of our families were celebrating the Jewish festival of Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of New Year.  Jewish families celebrate Rosh Hashanah with sweet foods, like apples dipped in honey and honey cake, as a wish for a sweet year. Some families also celebrate with symbolic foods like the head of a fish, pomegranates, and carrots.

In nursery we used our creative skills to make lots of craft apples and bumblebees. We got noisy learning songs about Rosh Hashanah and accompanying them with percussion instruments. Some of us even dressed up as bumblebees and buzzed around the playroom floor!

We wish all our Jewish families Shanah Tovah.
