Festivals Week

Last week was festivals week. Year 5 and Year 6 did very similar work, for example we both made a advent wreath. We drew around our hands and then we cut them out and wrote five things that would make us a good high school pupil.

We learnt about three main religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam, they were all really interesting.

We learnt about the Shabbat meal and what happens during the meal and we even made a bread that they eat with their meal, we a made a bread called 'challah' bread. It was very yummy!

We learnt about the three holy days for each religion, for Judaism it's Saturday (but they have the Shabbat on Friday; so that they can rest on Saturday. The holy day for Christianity is Sunday. Also the holy day for Islam is Friday.

We also talked about the differences and similarities between all of the three religions, here are a few of them:
