Primary 3 performed fabulously at our Tu B’Shevat assembly last week.   They told everybody about how we celebrate this fun festival as well as telling us about how special the Almond Tree is in Israel.  They sang each song beautifully.

Every child enjoyed their fruit parties on Tuesday and were brave enough to try something that they hadn’t tried before, for example dates and olives.  thank you to those parents who helped prepare the fruit for the children.

Primary 7 enjoyed a more formal Tu B’Shevat Seder where we blessed 4 cups of wine, sang songs and talked about the symbolic features of the different fruits.  Lots of fun was had by all.

Questions to ask your children:

Can you name the 7 fruits of Israel in Hebrew and English?

Which is the first tree to blossom in Israel?

How old does a tree have to be before you can eat it’s fruits?
