Grade 5 Assembly

This morning grade 5 presented their assembly on six of the world's religions. They presented facts about Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism. The pupils worked in groups to build a place of worship for each of the religions, which they described to the rest of the senior primary school. Well done to grade 5 for speaking so clearly and confidently and for teaching us new things!

After a long time...

We have been fairly silent in cyberspace recently, but that does not mean nothing has been happening at the school! On the contrary, days have been so full that they soon roll into weeks which very quickly become months.

Of course, the Christmas spirit has descended upon the school and 'tis the season to be jolly! The trees are up and decorated and the hall is being transformed by the Christmas artwork. The hallways are beginning to echo with the sound of the primary Christmas production as the begin preparing for their big day when they get to perform for the rest of the school and their parents.

Today, grade 8, 9, 10 and 11 pupils enjoyed a day in the "winter" sunshine as we went on an outing to a place called "Team Tech" which is near the port city of Caesarea. Our pupils participated in various team-building activities, which also gave them a chance to display their leadership gifts and abilities.

Primary Outing

This is the second year that the Primary School enjoyed an outdoor fieldtrip at Kibbutz Nir Eliyahu. Each year group worked independently and had grade specific tasks.

The Reception class and Grade One made apple puppets.

Grades 1 and 2 and 4 made perfume from freshly ground herbs and spices.

Grade 4 also made pomanders using apples, cloves and cinnamon. All the students made pita, labenah and butter which they enjoyed towards the end of the day.

In addition to these engaging activities the children visited the 'animal corner' where they saw a wide range of animals from chicken to duck to guinea pigs to goats, sheep and a very tired sow. Wandering along with the children were peacocks and other birds. The children fed the camel and the pony.

The learning objective of the field trip was to develop the link between the land and our food. At each stop along the day the children were asked about where food comes from (before it gets on the lorries that bring it to the shop!!) We are already thinking about visiting Nir Eliyahu next year.
