World Faiths/Judaism Week November 2024
Rabbi Zvi has always been a popular visitor to our school. The children love learning about other faiths and cultures, and Rabbi Zvi said he really enjoys visiting our school as the children are so curious about other faiths and are able to articulate their thoughts so well. This year, the children took part in Shabbat and Passover workshops. The children in KS2 even got to sample matzah and challah which would form part of a traditional Seder meal.
Finally, 3W summarised all of our learning from this week in their thought-provoking and informative class assembly on Judaism.
