Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School

Year 5's visits to Secondary Schools

Year 5 enjoyed their days experiencing school life in Secondary Schools.

Our visit to Yavneh College to really exciting. The children worked on hidden clues to find out who took the Headteacher's Goldfish! This involved checking through suspects' emails, various experiments in the Science laboratory and checking and locations in Geography. The children had lunch in the dining room and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Our visit to JFS was also an interesting day. The children davened Tefillah in Shul and worked through different JS activities with pupils from Yavneh. They had a dance lesson in the dance studio followed by rowing machine competitions in the fitness room.  The children also had a Geography lesson, finding out about different parts of the world and experienced the long queue for lunch!

The children came back from both trips exhausted but excited at the prospect of being so 'grown up' and 'independent'.
