During RE week Year 5 enjoyed learning about some Jewish traditions and customs from a special visitor - Ann Angel.  They learnt about Shabbat - the Jewish Sabbath and Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year.  We all shared in the tradition of eating apples dipped in honey.  This custom symbolises hopes for a "sweet" New Year ahead.  Some children had an opportunity to wear a kippah (Jewish headwear) and a prayer shawl.  Year 5 went on to research the Jewish place of worship - the synagogue - and found it interesting to compare the Jewish faith with other religions.  Mrs Blomeley.
