Rimon class have been busy busy! We have been doing lots of drama and performance, practising our best acting as cavemen. We have also learnt all about Light and been exploring dark and light and reflective and non-reflective materials. We also enjoyed our final two Mitzvah mornings, first making cards for children at the Shalva community centre in Jerusalem and then making delicious cupcakes for key workers at the Royal Free Hospital. Now we are getting ourselves as excited as possible about the upcoming festival: Chanukah! Just wait till you hear our rendition of Latke Recipe by the Maccabeats.
Rimon class have been busy learning all about our new topic ‘The Stone Age’ and ‘Light’ in Science. In Topic, we watched a video on the Stone Age, and began writing down all the questions we wanted to answer in our learning. We put them together to make a fire because that’s how Cavemen stayed warm! In Science, we have been learning all about natural and artificial sources of light and identifying them around school. Finally, we loved making our challah covers for Mitzvah morning, which will be sent all the way to the Belarus community. We look forward to the next few mitzvah mornings too!
Rimon Class have been learning more about Ernest Shackleton and Antarctica the past two weeks. They have experienced what it would feel like to be a crew member onboard Endurance, completed obstacle courses in PE and timeline key events in Shackleton’s life. This week we have been learning all about Sukkot, writing party invitations, and constructing acrostic poems. We had our wonderful encirhcment day where we made sukkahs, paper mache etrogs, decorative sukkah lanterns and discussed the Ushpizin that visit our sukkahs. What a great two weeks!

Rimon class have had a great first two weeks getting stuck into our learning and our topic ‘Exploring the Antarctic.’ The children have located Antarctica on a map, and began to hear about the explorer: Ernest Shackleton. We also have been learning about healthy, including making a healthy tuna pasta salad, where we chopped all the vegetables ourselves, we have also been going outside and exercising in the forest. In preparation for Rosh Hashana, we had a wonderful enrichment day where we made apple cake, and blew a shofar, wrote new years resolutions and wrote some prayers. Shana Tova everybody!
