Year 3 visited the United Hebrew Congregation in Shadwell for their RE unit on Judaism. The children learnt about the torah scrolls, Bar and Bat mitzvah’s, the Shabbat which takes place on a Saturday and heard some stories in the Old Testament. We were so impressed with how engaged and respectful all the children were. They were a credit to our school. The children asked some really well-thought, insightful questions and came away with lots of new knowledge. It is so important that children learn about different faiths so they have that knowledge and understanding to be respectful of similarities and differences.
