KS1 have been exploring a very special book in Judaism — the Torah.
We began by learning that the Torah is the most sacred text in the Jewish faith. It contains stories, teachings, and laws that guide how Jewish people live their lives. We discovered that the Torah is written in Hebrew and is often beautifully decorated and treated with great respect.
To help us understand its importance, we looked at pictures of real Torah scrolls and talked about how they are kept in synagogues and read during special services.
Then came the exciting part — we made our own Torah scrolls!
The children were thoughtful, creative, and full of questions — it was a lovely way to learn about another faith and celebrate the values we all share.
