Hanukkah

We are learning about the Jewish festival of lights 'Hanukkah' in Junior Infants this week.
We learned that it is celebrated over 8 days in November and December every year.
We watched a short video about a young boy celebrating Hanukkah. He lit candles on a menorah on each of the eight days and said blessings. He exchanged gifts with his family and loved playing with a toy called a dreidel!
We coloured some beautiful pictures of a menorah with 8 candles.
We can find out more about Hanukkah from this website:

We recently celebrated Science Week in the school.

We had lots of fun with 6th Class who did some cool science experiments with us!
