Lesson: Religious education

Class: Year 1CW Year: 2025 - 2026

In Religious Education, the children have been learning about Who is Jewish and how do they live? They explored what it means to be Jewish and learned about the synagogue as a special place of worship. The children were introduced to the Torah as the Jewish holy text and discovered that it is written in Hebrew. They also learned about important Jewish celebrations, including Hanukkah and Shabbat, and discussed why these times are special for Jewish families. Through stories from the Bible and the Torah, the children learned how stories can teach people about beliefs and values. To support their learning, the children created their own dreidels, learning about how this traditional toy is used during Hanukkah. This topic helped the children develop an understanding of religious beliefs, practices, and respect for different ways of life.
