Autumn 2 Grand Finale

How do people celebrate special events?

During Advent, we learnt all about the story of Jesus' birth and everybody involved in this amazing event. We then retold this story, alongside Easby, to our families during our EYFS Nativity Performance.

Judaism Week October 2024

This week, we learnt about some of the symbols and objects that are special to the Jewish faith, and what some of them mean, such as the Star of David, the Menorah, the Torah, the Synagogue and Rabbi.

We then used watercolours to design a Menorah, and then created our very own mini Torah!
