As part of their RE learning, Year 3 enjoyed a fascinating visit to a synagogue, where they deepened their understanding of the Jewish faith and explored how religious beliefs and traditions are reflected in everyday life. The children had the opportunity to explore the synagogue, discover the meaning behind its different symbols, learn about the Torah scrolls and find out more about Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, and how it is celebrated.

Throughout the visit, the children demonstrated excellent behaviour, showing curiosity, enthusiasm and respect as they asked thoughtful and insightful questions. This experience provided a valuable opportunity to develop their understanding of British Values, particularly Mutual Respect and Tolerance of Those with Different Faiths and Beliefs. By learning about Judaism and appreciating the beliefs and traditions of others, the children are developing the knowledge, understanding and respect needed to be thoughtful and respectful members of our diverse society.
