Year 4 were treated to a visit from Rabi Zvi from the Jewish Community of Berkshire. The children listened to stories from the Old Testament told in fantastic detail and a reconstruction of a Shabbat celebration, including grape juice and Challah bread. We set up the classroom in the style of the synagogue and Rabi Zvi taught the significance of Friday for Jewish people.
It was a day of learning in hot and humid conditions; sounds awful? Not for Year 4 who enriched their Science and Geography learning about the world's rainforest habitat, met real animals from the regions and were amazed by the adaptations of plants and animals.
Year 4 visited Hampton Court to further deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Tudor period. They experienced many of the different rooms as well as the extensive gardens of the palace.
