Adam Carpenter – Head of Jewish Life Primary

Year 6 Visit to the Burger Centre

We are continuing lunchtime visits to The Burger Centre this term, providing a forum for our students to interact with older generations in our community. These visits include opportunities for conversation and playing games which foster intergenerational connections. Our return walk back to school is always filled with a buzz of conversation as students share their interactions and conversations. 

“The visits are fun and meaningful for us as students and the people who we get to interact with and play games with really seem to enjoy the time we spend together. This is a really special opportunity for us all.” By Nadav Pollak

“It is important to support and connect with our Jewish elders. We can learn so much from each other.” By Gideon Cohen

“Meeting new people and bonding with them, especially people who are not your age means that you get to hear stories from the past.” By Arya Cohen

Tal and I played Scrabble with 3 clients and we had lots of fun. It was impressive that we played with a 98 year old who was amazing at Scrabble, knowing so many words and finding the best ways to get high scores.” By Orlando van der Starre
