We are currently learning about Elul and Tishrei. The children now understand the concept of the king in the field. They have drawn beautiful pictures and are trying to be extra good and kind.

We have started learning about Rosh Hashonah and are working on our beautiful Machzor. The children are working very hard and are gaining many skills and knowledge through this experience.

News Bulletin

We have been very busy learning all about our five Senses. The children thoroughly enjoyed bringing in their various items for the interest table, and going round the ring for each child to, feel, touch, smell etc.

Please send an item with your child for the sense of 'hear', as soon as possible.

We have painted, collaged, drawn and coloured, our faces, and hands in conjunction with our 'Senses project.

For Shabbos we will be doing the sense of 'Taste', please can you send a treat with your child which we will give out during our Shabbos Party.

We are discussing all about Winter, and what happens with the trees, leaves and grass etc, and the type of clothes we wear. We have painted a Winter tree which will be displayed shortly.

Our class will be performing a short show in honour of Gimmel Tammuz (The Rebbe's Yortzheit) which I am sure you are hearing about from your children. They are very excited and have memorised their songs and lines, and almost finished their costumes.

Parents are welcome to come and watch the children for the last dress rehearsal, which will take place on Monday June 14th-Beis Tammuz, in our classroom at 9:00 am iyh.

We started learning about number and number values during Sefiras Ha'omer and the children have grasped these concepts well and are able to answer questions related to this with ease. They are beginning to recognize the 2 digit numbers and to identify them correctly.

We are now concentrating on the 5 senses. When you come to our class take note of the pictures representing this and our display table. This week we are starting with the sense of smell. Please send with your child something that smells to put on our display table which all the children will then get a chance to smell. With this sense we will teach the children to identify sweet, sour, strong, pleasant etc... also adding in their vocabulary.

We are painting and making a beautiful 7 branch Menorah which is spoken about in the Parsha, working on the diagonal shape.

Our thick Kokies are running out! PLEASE SEND IN A PACK OF NEW THICK FAT KOKIES NOT THIN ONES!!!!

Our Tzedokah has run out, please can you send a bag of coins so we can give Tzedokah each day!

THANK YOU very much!

shavuos is coming

In honour of Shavuos the children worked so hard to create beautiful Shavuos books! They include the different names and aspects of Shavuos. Please make sure to go through them with your child.

The children got to make Pizza today for Shavuos. They chose the toppings they wanted and made yummy Pizza.

When asked why they making Pizza...

Rochele "Because we eat milchik."

Why?

Sheva "Because the Jewish people didn't have time to shecht the meat."

The children have created beautiful flowers in honour of Shavuos representing the flowers that grew on Har Sinai.

Today we celebrated Mendel Abeshouse's birthday! Happy birthday Mendel, may you have a wonderful year of simcha and brocha!

Numbers

We are learning about numbers in connection to Sefiras Haomer. There is an interest table with various counting puzzles and games which the children are taking part in and thorughly enjoying. Displayed on the walls are number charts and number values making an awareness to all the children. They are grasping the concept of counting the Sephira and are enthusiastic to call out what day we are up to and how many weeks have passed and how many weeks till Shavuos.

A project we are concentrating on now is what we dont do during Sephiras Haomer:
The children made a beautiful picture of a Chuppah with a bride and groom.
They traced scissors and made a face with hair.
They drew a drum and coloured other musical instruments for music.
They will be making pictures and cut outs of new clothes.

We all made our own Sefiras Haomer mountain charts and each week is painted a different colour. We check off daily the number we are up to in Sefiras Haomer.

We are trying hard to have extra Ahavas Yisroel this month, caring and sharing and treating each other with respect.

Mazaltov to Sheva for her 5th birthday. May she always give Nachas to her Parents.
