Earth Day Festivities: Monday 22nd April In support of World Earth Day, we will be teaching the children about the importance of looking after our world, such as reducing plastic and recycling.

Passover: Monday 22nd - Tuesday 30th April Passover is a Jewish festival lasting eight days, which links to the biblical story of the Jewish people escaping from slavery in Egypt. During Passover, families will hold a ‘seder’ night on the first and sometimes second night of Passover. A seder night is a religious service set around a dinner table, where everyone will eat, pray, sing, and read stories from a prayer book called a ‘Haggadah’. A number of traditional foods are also eaten during the festival, including Matzah, gefilte fish and chicken soup. The children will be learning all about Passover and will have the chance to make their own Matzah crackers, listen to some Israeli music, and design their very own seder plate using a range of resources. We will also be trying some traditional foods too.
