Students participated in numerous exciting activities, including livestreaming Israeli radio stations while children made pita to dip in humus and tehina. Words and phrases like sababa (cool), mashehu-mashehu (something good), and achla (superb) were echoed around the corridors by children and teachers alike.
By creating campaign posters for Israeli political parties, Grade 4 students learned about advertising techniques; Grade 5s created dynamic timelines depicting the leaders, significant events, and inventions in Israel from 1948 to the present; and Grade 6s presented real-life Israeli TV stations, which included panel discussions on political parties, Israeli sport, weather, and adverts for Israeli products.
The week culminated in a mock election. After learning about the Knesset, the election process and the various parties, Grade 7 students were given the opportunity to vote. The school thanks Mr Zvi and Mrs Liat Arran (the director of the Israel Centre) for their valuable input into a memorable week.
