We had a very special visitor on Friday! Amy Troner attended school as a Jewish faith leader and delivered multiple engaging workshops for our pupils. Amy was accompanied by Mr. Maher (school governor) for the morning sessions. Amy shared her main beliefs and explained all about Jewish festivals, including Passover & Hanukkah. In addition, pupils had the opportunity to participate in traditional wedding dancing and try on traditional clothing including kippahs (hats) and a tallitot (prayer shawl). Some pupils created class menorahs after exploring artefacts. While others used their senses to explore traditional scents used to symbolise the beginning of a ‘sweet week’. Many engaged in traditional games with dreidels (spinning tops) as they are played with during Hanukkah and listened to Amy sing a song of worship in Hebrew. Please take a look at individual class blogs for additional pictures.
