Hanukkah

Why is light important in everyday life?
Hanukkah is the Jewish festival of light.

We found out that the Maccabee army beat the king's army and then they rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem.  While they were rebuilding it they found a container of oil which would light the menorah for a short time.  It actually stayed alight for 8 days and 8 nights which showed that God was with them and that he is everlasting.

In year 2 we drew our own menorahs and wrote about it's importance.

In year 1 we decorated a menorah and talked about what we thought about it.

Next week we will begin our new big question!
