This half term Year 3 will be learning about Judaism. This week, they learnt about Shabbat, what it means to Jewish people and how they celebrate it. The children created their own Shabbat tables and role played the event. They also labelled the tables to explain the items that were there, such as Shabbat and Havdalah candles, challah bread and a Kiddush cup for wine.
Year 3 have been learning all about Shabbat during RE.
Shabbat is an exciting and important day that Jewish people look forward to all week. For Jewish people, Saturday is a special day, just like Sunday is special to Christians.
When Shabbat begins on Friday evening, everyone puts on their best clothes and gather for a special meal. Other family members or friends may join the family for this special occasion.
We also learnt about the items that would be included during a Shabbat celebration such as Shabbat and Havdalah candles, challah bread and a Kiddush cup for wine. We created our own Shabbat tables and labelled the different items we had drawn.
