Welcome back from Morah Mish and Morah Dini

Welcome back to all our parents and children, we hope you enjoyed lots of nachas over Pesach. There is so much in store for the 2nd term.
-The children are all counting Sefiras Haomer every day and their number concepts are being expanded age appropriately.
-Through song (minus the guitar), stories and crafts: Sefirah, Lag Ba'omer and Shavuos are being explored.
-As the vibes of 2010 surround us all, the teachers have decided to utilize this opportunity to research with the children the various countries that will be visiting South Africa. Each class has chosen a country to explore. From the language to the food to the customs to the dress to the flag to the produce and especially the uniquely Jewish attributes of the country e.g. shuls, chabad houses, school etc... The children are very excited so don't be surprised if your children become more than bilingual.

GOOD SHABBOS,
Morah Mish and Morah Dini

Matzah Bakery

The children from Morah Rachels class and up went to visit the Matzah Bakery, learned all about how Matzah is made and even got to make Matzah.

Yud Aleph Nissan

In honour of Yud Aleph Nissan we had a special guest speaker for the children, Chanie Shemtov, who told stories of the Rebbe and taught the children a song. The children also had a delicious pasta lunch and treats.

The Matzah Man came to visit!

The Matzah Man came to school to explain to the children that there are some families who don't have food for Pesach and they can help by bringing in food for these families. (Thank you to those of you who have so far sent in food, for those of you who still want to, there is a food bin for Pesach food at the office!)

The children learned a new song, each got a Pesach puzzle and got to shake hands with the Matzah man!

Shushan Purim fun!

In honour of Shushan Purim many fun activities happened in the nursery school!
The Play school children had 'horse' rides- in honour of Mordechai riding the kings horse.



The 3's and 4's got to play on an incredible jumping castle, swing on a carousel, dance and ride horses!

Prep Pre Aleph and Pre Aleph joined the primary school for a wonderful clown, juggling and dog show!

MAZALTOV MORAH MISH!!

We would like to wish a hearty mazaltov to Morah Mish on her birthday! May you continue to receive much nachas from your children, grand children, and of course students!! Much health and happiness for the year ahead!
