Pesach explorations

This week we have continued our learning around the festival of Passover and all the wonderful traditions, stories, characters, songs, food and creative experiences.

The groups have all spent time making Matzah Pizza’s, Matzah pancakes and have also been to the matzah factory.

The children have learnt a variety of wonderful songs: When Moses was, One morning when Pharaoh awoke in his bed, Bang bang bang, Dayeinu, Listen, King Pharaoh, How did Moses cross the Red Sea, Ma Nishtana, and Who knows one, to name but a few.

On Friday, we all participated in our own interactive Kornmehl Pesach Seder. The children were so excited to participate in this long awaited Chag. The tables looked beautiful and the food was delicious. Each child participated in dressing up and dramatising the story and we all had a wonderful time.

Thank you to all our parent helpers: Mrs Sharon Miller, Mrs Sam Butt, Mrs Lissa Prosser, Mrs Samantha Schwartz, Mrs Janice Eliovson, Mrs Niva Burke, Mrs Natalie Lufthaus, Mrs Naama Merritt, Mrs Evelyn Marczak and Mrs Lisa Strous. Your help is very much appreciated by all the teachers and the children.

The Dolphins joined the Year K Pesach Seder on Thursday morning. Many thanks to Morah Hagit and all her teachers for inviting us and including the Pre-school in such a meaningful and special Seder.
