Y1 & Y2 spent an enjoyable afternoon with our Jewish visitor, Sheila Gewolb
The Y1 and Y2 children have been eagerly awaiting a visit from our Jewish friend, Sheila Gewolb. They have been learning about Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur throughout the summer term.
Sheila enhanced their learning by bringing in artefacts to show the children, as well as answering their many questions. The children were so excited to try to make a sound on the shofar (ram’s horn) which is a really tricky thing to do! Finally, one Y2 girl managed it and then some more girls followed.
Next, it was time to taste the challah bread which Sheila had kindly brought in for us to try. The children loved it. Thank you so much to Sheila for helping us to learn more about your religion. Shalom, until your next visit.
