Adam Carpenter | Head of Jewish Studies Primary

Throughout this term, Years 3 and 6 have been learning about Israel. Year 3 students have focused on the people, places and geography of Israel. Year 6 students have explored the Jewish people’s historical and spiritual relationship and connection to the Land of Israel and events surrounding the creation of the State of Israel 70 years ago. To conclude their learning, Year 6 students were invited to select an aspect of contemporary Israel of personal interest (such as demography, environment, food, sport, science, arts etc.) to research. This research was put into presentations and the students were invited to share their research and teach their classmates.
