In recent weeks students have been preparing for Pesach through singing songs of the Haggadah and exploring the many rituals and symbols of the Haggadah.
During this last week of Term, we welcomed families of Years 1 – 4 students to the school to participate in our Pesach Family Celebration. Primary students celebrated Pesach in the following ways:
K-2 Model Pesach Seder: students experienced and created a model Pesach Seder in full costume. The Seder was filled with music, ruach, dramatic performances and presentations from the students.
Year 3: Matzah Factory and Clay Kos Miriyam workshop: students and their families were able to make their own matzah at the Chabad Matzah Factory and created their own clay cup to represent
Year 4: Student presentations on the Seder and Matzah Cover Workshop: Students shared their learning and understanding of the 4 children, 4 cups, 4 questions and 4 names of Pesach to their families. Together they created their own beautiful Matzah cover for their families Seder.
Year 5 and Year 6 students collaborated in groups to present an aspect of the Haggadah and Pesach meal, which they shared with their peers in a Pesach Seder experience. In addition to exploring the Haggadah and singing songs and blessings, students shared slide presentations, drama performances, videos readings and quiz questions for a different kind of Pesach Seder.
Here is a selection of some of the students’ work and thinking about Pesach and the Seder:
