Hanukkah

The Grasshoppers celebrated the Jewish festival Hanukkah. 

At the nursery they learnt about the festival and how it is celebrated around the world. 

The children explored Hanukkah non-fiction books. 

They also used children's computers to take part in research. 

The children looked at lighting the candles called menorah. 

They took part in adding the candles to the menorah. 

Then they carefully lit the candles. 

Talking about fire safety and managing the risk themselves with a children's risk assessment. 

The children also took a trip to the local Hanukkah display. 

The children counted the lights on the large menorah. 

They talked about how another one it lit each day. 

Happy Hanukkah.
