Celebrating Shabbat

Today, Y2 have been exploring how and why Jewish people celebrate Shabbat. We discovered that Shabbat is the Jewish Day of Rest. Shabbat happens each week from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. During Shabbat, Jewish people remember the story of creation from the Torah. Jews have a lot of jobs to do on the Friday evening to prepare for Shabbat.

Predicting our reading for the week 📚

During book talk, we were given some clues to infer from. We had a silent conversation to explore what we thought about the clues given. Clue number one was a photo of a clip board with the writing ‘Loteria de Navidad’. Many of us knew the word ‘Navidad’ meant ‘Christmas’ in Spanish but we are unsure how this links with the other photo clues. Tomorrow, we will find out more about the reading for this week… the children are intrigued to learn more!
