Autumn Week 1: Our First Week in Class 2!

Well done to Class 2 who have made a fantastic start to the year!

We have been learning about Jewish New Year, or Rosh Hashanah, and thinking about how this reflects our school motto, Life in all its Fullness. We learnt a traditional Jewish children’s song, wrote some reflections, made beautiful artwork and baked some Rosh Hashanah honey cookies! We also tried apple dipped in honey, a traditional Rosh Hashanah treat. The class said it was sweet, delicious and scrumptious!

Stars of the Week: All of Class 2!
