Primary 7b have been working with Miss Brogan to learn all about Jewish Weddings. They made these super models of a Chuppah, the canopy that a Jewish couple would be married under.
Jemma found out this information about Chuppahs:
The children have worked extremely well in their groups to design and make the chuppahs. This week they added a glass and chair to their models to show the traditions of breaking a glass during the ceremony and lifting the bride and groom on seats to perform a “Chair Dance”. The class enjoyed looking at some videos of these traditions of a Jewish Wedding.
We all won a Class Teacher certificate at assembly:
We all won a Truly Terrific Work award for a piece of good work in class:
As a school, we have been recycling paper and card for years as part of our effort to be Eco-friendly. The Eco-Warrior committee is taking this good work one step further by introducing recycling bins into the dining hall. Children can now recycle plastic cartons and bottles, yoghurt pots, tin foil and much more.
The Eco Warriors are helping out in the dining hall with the sorting of the litter. This will take us one step closer to earning our Green Eco Flag.
