We have had so much fun celebrating our chaggim this year.
For our Pesach seder, the children ‘bought’ the food that was required and used their mathematical skills to work out what change was needed. We then cooked the food for the seder plate, laid the table and enjoyed the fruit of our labour with our parents.
This term we are focusing on Food Around the World at Salisbury House. Our first stop was Israel, where we learnt about Israeli street food culture and Israeli dancing. On Yom Ha‘atzmaut we went to Yoffi Falafel in Muizenberg, where we were treated to a falafel-making demonstration by the owner, Greg. He taught us the importance of each ingredient and we got to taste all the salads and sauces that make falafel unique and delicious. After our meal we went back into the kitchen where Greg taught us how to make halva and once again surprised us with a taste of this scrumptious treat. We ended off this very special day with a swim on the beach.
We will be visiting each continent of the world in our world food travels, culminating in a Hollywood red carpet event where we will be showing the premiere of our first school movie, The Friendship Quest.
