Year 2 – RE Day

Year 2 – RE Day

During RE day Year Two looked at ‘Belonging’what this means to us and what it means in Judaism. We thought about things that we belong to, like our families, the school community and clubs outside school. We found out about the Jewish day of rest, which is called Shabbat and is celebrated on Saturday each week. We found out that Jewish people are not allowed to use lights or electronic devices during Shabbat! Also, they’re not allowed to go to the shops or do homework. Instead they spend time together, sing, read and play board games. We talked about celebrations we share with others and special meals. We ended the day by trying Challah bread, special bread that is always part of a Shabbat meal. The bread was made in the morning by grown ups in each class, with help from the children. Everyone seemed to enjoy eating the bread, but the star baker is yet to be announced!
