AROUND THE SCHOOL

With the festival of Succot on staring on Friday night the children are learning about the succah. They are hearing what it is made of, what we do in it and why we put one up. Next week weather permitting they will be able to eat in our school succah during chol hamoed. They are learning about the arbah minim - lulav and etrog. This has extended their knowledge of leaf shapes and the senses of sound and smell. They will also learn that shaking the lulav reminds us that Hashem is everywhere, looks after us and all the Jewish people should be united and care about each other.

(To the tune of ‘Dip the apple in the honey’)

Take a lulav and an etrog,                                                                      Hadassim and aravot                                                                                   Shake it three times in all directions                                                                 Up and down ‘cos it’s Succot 

Hashem is here, Hashem is there,
Hashem is truly everywhere x2
Up, up, down, down, here there and everywhere
That’s where He can be found
