Ganesh Chaturthi

September 2021

On Friday, Celebration Bear visited one of our pupils this time to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi the elephant god in Hinduism.

There was a big gathering with lots of Indian food!  Celebration Bear had good fun meeting friends and family and he really enjoyed the party!  To find out more, click here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha

Rosh Hashanah!

September 2021

On Monday, Celebration Bear visited one of our Nursery children and had a special Rosh Hashanah dinner with her.  Rosh Hashanah in Hebrew means the head of the year - on this day we celebrate the beginning of a new Jewish year.

He made a happy New year card with some help, and sang some of the holiday blessings, but they were all in Hebrew (so were a bit tricky for the Bear to learn!). 

He also tried some of the holiday's traditional foods and treats, which included:

• A round Challa (sweet bread)
• Honey cake
• Apples dipped in honey - so that this year would be sweet - those were his favourites!
• Pomegranate - so that we will be full of good deeds like the pomegranate is full of seeds.

Wishing everyone a SHANA TOVA - Happy New Year.
