Hagit Bar-On – Head of Hebrew K-6

Hebrew Week

Every week is שבוע עברית Hebrew Week at Emanuel School!

However, during Week 9 the Hebrew Department dedicated the whole week to Hebrew activities around the School. We are proud to share some of the exciting activities we did with the students:

• Baking Hebrew Cookies: Morah Erika and K-2 students baked טעים – tasty cookies using the א-בletters in their Hebrew names. The students were very excited as they rolled the dough, created their Hebrew names, sprinkled colourful lollies on it and then ate them on their way to class.

• Israeli Madrichim: visited each year level and taught the students some Israeli songs and dances. At the end of their sing-along, all of us danced some רוח ruach dances.
• Yigal JNF Shaliach: came on Wednesday and Friday to work with our students on recognising the map of Israel, learn about important places in Israel and some significant events that happened in Israel.

• סרט עברית – Hebrew Movie: Students in Years 2, 3 and 5 watched a movie in Hebrew without subtitles. They had to recall as many Hebrew words as they could from the movie. Students did an amazing job and recorded a vast amount of Hebrew words. The teachers assessed their lists and gave prizes to the students who came up with the most accurate words.

• SRC (Students Representative Council) Activity: The SRC initiated a lunchtime activity for students in Year K-6 to design and create his/her own שנה טובה Shanah Tova Card to give to family and friends. The activity was very successful, and many students attended it.
