Pesach Seder

Experiential learning about Pesach...

In order to bring Pesach to life, before going on to the playground yesterday, the Morahs explained that there would be a sensory table out with sand and water for the children to build bricks, just like the Yidden had to in Mitzrayim!
The children loved the experience. They worked together with Morah Nadine's class, enhancing the depth of the experience.


Here are snippets of the conversation between the 2 classes:
Morah: What are you building?
Batya Stern and Aviel: The Beis Hamikdash.
Eitan Henen: This is the wet sand to make bricks.
Morah: Who made bricks?
Eitan Henen: The Yidden.
Morah: Who told them to?
Eitan Henen: Pharaoh.
Zahara: Because King Pharaoh made them work very hard.

Simultaneously at another table this is the conversation that occurred:
Lior: We're making bricks.
Morah: Who had to make bricks?
Batya Waks: The Yidden.
Morah: Who told them to?
All: King Pharoh!
Lior: Bricks are rectangles.
Ora: Some are squares. A shape is a square.
Naama: I'm making a circle.
Ora: How we gonna make a square? You can make a square like this...(and she demonstrates with her hands!)

Batya Stern: Look at all the water.

Ora: Our brick gets dry. It gets water and it gets dry!

In honour of Shushan Purim we joined the primary school for a clown, juggling and dog show. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Center time!!

Working on our fine motor skills through doing puzzels.

"Were making pictures and Queen Esthers for Purim!"

"Aarons making all kinds of motorbikes."

"I'm making a cage for the animals. And this is the farmer."

"Its a police station."

Morah Adie's class plants for Tu b Shvat

Batya: Dad- you know why I'm making this? For Tu b Shvat!"
Ayala: They pretty, hey?
Ella: Ya!
Morah: Why do we need water?
Batya: That it will grow!
Ella: Me and daddy will plant it. I'll say "Daddy can you and I plant it?"

Ariel: It's dirty, hey?
Lior: It look like a tree.
Naama: Yeah!
Lior: They not trees they plants!
Aliza: Tu b Shvat.
Naama: Ow, it's ticklish.
Lior: It's all mud here.
Naama: Because then it can't grow
Aliza with delight: MUD!!! Such a mess!!
Naama: MMMMMMM MUD!
Aliza: Mud is a mess. Mud is yuck!
Lior: I need somme more!
