                                       Yom Hazikaron

On Yom Hazikaron, the Grade Three classes attended a solemn and meaningful Yom Hazikaron assembly. The students focused on Peace as a way to honour all the brave soldiers who lost their lives in Israel.

We read the poem I Dream a World by Langston Hughes, wrote similes for peace, and worked on our songs of Peace.

I Dream A World

I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom’s way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!
by Langston Hughes

A song for Peace

We are a family, deeply connected, even with COVID, we stand together.

The earth is our home land, we all live on our world, always connected, always affected.

חסד הוא מה שאנו, חושבים עליו כשלום, לכל אחד יכול להיות דעה

La gentillesse est ce que nous, considérons comme la paix, tout le monde peut, avoir une opinion.

              Yom Ha’atzmaut   

 

We started the day off with a door decorating challenge. The students had so much fun decorating!

                     

Our students  rotated through six AMAZING stations taking them “around Israel” for Pita making, an IDF code breaking station, bracelet making, Karaoke, trivia, and making chocolate balls. Karaoke was so popular that we went for another round in the afternoon. The Pokemon theme song was a big hit with Grade 3.

 

 

We played a special Yom Ha’atzmaut Kahoot game created by two students. It was so much fun testing our knowledge of Israel.

We finished off the day with cupcakes. A perfect way to end the day.

                                   Generations Day

The students had so much fun with their grandparents on Generations Day. They spent time talking and enjoying each other’s company. Discussion topics ranged from mitzvahs, nicknames, and places to visit in Israel. It was a special day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Model Seder 2022

Our Model Seder took place on Tuesday afternoon in the Makerspace. The students dressed up and were excited to celebrate together. 3B performed a Passover play called Let My People Go while students in 3A became different characters in the Passover story. All the students took turns reading from the Haggadah throughout the Seder. Everyone sang beautifully and enjoyed the special Seder meal.  All of the students did a wonderful job in helping to make our Model Seder very memorable. It was the perfect way to usher in our Passover break.

Wishing all of our students and families a wonderful Pesach.
Chag Sameach!
