As part of our current R.E. topic in Y2, we enjoyed bringing Judaism to life in the classroom when a visitor came to deliver a workshop about ‘objects in the home’.

The children were able to handle artefacts, ask questions and learn about what Jewish people do in the home on Shabbat. We discussed what Shabbat is, when it takes place and what preparation is done for Shabbat. The children enjoyed their experience and were encouraged to think about their own lives and what is really good about having a ‘time of rest’.
