During the Autumn Term, years 3 and 4 children studied Judaism; this included a visit to the orthodox synagogue in Bournemouth where Reverend Sklan, who visits the school regularly, is a member. He showed the children around the synagogue explaining the significance of various artefacts and gave valuable insights into the Jewish lifestyle. Wonder and awe was evident in every child as they saw and experienced for themselves the special place where Jewish people meet.
