Two smartnotebooks to guide through two lessons. Rosh Hashanna - Children answer questions about things they want to change in their lives this year and impove. Yom Kippur - Children think about why jewish children listen to the story of Jonah and the Whale on Yom Kippur. They then write an apology letter to somebody that they have wronged.

A lesson all about tolerance and independent learning. Children need to discover how when and where different religions pray with minimal teacher input. Children rotate between four tables. Each table is set up with artifacts, books, ipads/laptops and the information picture sheets provided. If possible choose a mini expert from the class for each religion to help answer questions. All of my classes love this lesson!

I have changed the words to Mans not hot to tell the story of the 10 plagues. Perfect for an assembly on Passover or to use in RE when teaching the story of the 10 plagues.

Script for 15/20 minute shabbat class assembly. Follows a Jewish family from Friday afternoon until Saturday morning. Children learn that the important part of Shabbat is spending time with family and friends. Parts for 30 children. Songs to the tune of Sia’s cheap thrills and Frère Jacque. 30 speaking parts. (This can easily be cut down by reducing the number of narrators) Extract from first scene Scene 1 – Meeting Mr and Mrs Cohen Narrator 1: Welcome to 4G’s assembly on Judaism and Shabbat Narrator 2: Today, we are going to take you inside the house of the Cohen’s. A Jewish family who live on Primrose hill, not too far from our school . (Mr and Mrs Cohen unfreeze. They are cleaning the house. ) Narrator 3: It is Friday afternoon and this is Mr and Mrs Cohen.
