Learning About Judaism

Our new term began last week with a visit from Rabbi Zvi Solomans.

Miss Mainwaring writes,

He spent time working with each class and gave an inspirational talk sharing some of the beliefs, customs and celebrations that Jewish families follow. He showed the children artefacts, compared Judaism with Christi-anity and re-told some stories from the Bible and the Torah. He was very engaging and it was a privilege to learn more about the religion first hand—we have all benefitted from the experience as a result.

We celebrated World Book Day by sharing our favourite books and dressing up as one of the characters. In this age of technology, it is heart warming to see the amount of pleasure reading can bring to us all.

The costumes looked really good!!

I liked being in my spaceman outfit.

After weeks of planning and hard work, our Forest School sessions have officially started. I have already shared some photographs of the site with you, but thought you would like to see the final ones taken more recently.

Friends of Witley Art Exhibition

Last term we held a hugely successful Art Exhibition whereby all the children in the school created their own piece of artwork to be professionally framed and exhibited during the day where parents/carers were invited to view a pop-up gallery and buy their children’s work to take home to enjoy.
