In R.E, Year 1 have been exploring Judaism. We have been looking at different festivals that Jews celebrate and the reasons why they celebrate these festivals. We learnt all about the Maccabees defeating the King of Israel in the story of Hanukkah. We were amazed how the Menorah stayed a light for 8 whole days!

We made our own Menorah’s. We knew that we needed 9 candle sticks and we added the Star of David and other special details.

Take  a look at our Menorah’s!
