Cultures Week Year 1 2022
This week we are learning about Judaism. We have learnt lots of Interesting facts and have made some wonderful pieces. Yesterday we made a Mezuzah. A mezuzah is a piece of parchment, contained in a decorative case and inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah. We are going to paint them tomorrow!
We have also learnt about the Rosh Hashanah festival. Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish festival that celebrates a new year and new beginnings. We tried some traditional foods. We especially enjoyed apples dipped in honey. This is done to help them think about the sweet new year that is just beginning.
We have made a selection of beautiful art work! Well done Year 1!
