Year 10 pupils have just completed the study of Judaism as a part of their GCSE curriculum. Pupils had the opportunity to interview Jeremy and ask questions about living as a Jew in UK. The session helped students to appreciate the joys and challenges that practicing the Jewish faith brings. Jeremy helped to bring the course to life and allowed pupils to consolidate their learning. We also had a day of exploring Jewish festivals. We built a sukkah in Mrs Weights’ room, Mrs McDonagh had a Seder meal set up for Pesach and in Mr Duffy’s room we had honey and apples for Rosh Hashanah.
