We have been learning about the role of the Shofar in Judaism. The shofar is a horn that is blown to signify the start of Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) and the end of Yom Kippur (the Sacred Day of Forgiveness). The children have thought about forgiveness and learned to say sorry in Hebrew, ‘slicha’. They then enjoyed making and blowing their own shofar.
