Appreciating the Jewish faith.

A collection of photographs I forgot to post before Christmas of Room 2 enjoying playing a traditional Jewish game called Spin The Dreidel. This game, is usually played during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, which usually falls in December. Jewish children would usually play with sweets but unfortuantley, Room 2 had to make do with counters (cue many a groan from the children, sorry!)

Some children seemed keen to play this at home, so I will attach a net in order to make the driedel and the rules too.

Dreidel Game Rules

We will continue to focus on the Jewish faith next term with particular focus on the importance of the Torah ( the Jewish sacred text) and the stories within it and another religious festival known as Passover, a festival celebrating the freedom of the Israelites from Egypt with the help of Moses.
