Happy Hanukkah!

Three of our classes have been learning about the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah which takes place around the world this week. Primary 6 used the internet to find out about the story behind the celebration, with armies in battle and a very special bottle of oil.  They watched video clips of Hannukah celebrations and learned how to play the Driedel game.  A team from P6 then visited Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 to play the game with them and share their learning.  This game was first played to help the Jewish children learn their letters and sounds in secret. When we played it this week we learned new letters, practised our counting skills and showed what good sports we are when our friends won our tokens!
