Year 3 had a fabulous visit to the Synagogue this week, where we were warmly welcomed by the Jewish Community.
Both mornings were fun and informative. We began with the children being shown around the different parts of the Synagogue, including the prayer area, where they were able to see and hold, the Torah and Scrolls. They looked at Hebrew writing and discussed how it was different from their handwriting. The children asked some very thoughtful questions and were extremely respectful at all times.
