Year 5 pupils from the Prep School recently enjoyed a fascinating and educational visit to Norwich Synagogue. The visit provided a wonderful opportunity to deepen their understanding of Judaism through first-hand experience and engaging discussion. Their host, Deborah, warmly welcomed the children and was full of praise for their exemplary behaviour, curiosity and enthusiasm throughout the day.

The pupils took part in a range of hands-on activities that brought their classroom learning to life. They explored the Torah and learnt about its importance within Jewish worship, discovered the meaning and traditions of Shabbat, and gained insight into the many Jewish festivals that shape the year. A particular highlight was learning to write in Hebrew – this experience inspired much excitement and concentration!

The day offered not only a rich learning experience but also a valuable opportunity to appreciate and celebrate cultural diversity and religious traditions. Overall, it was a visit that pupils will remember for a long time to come.
