Election fever hits King David Primary Linksfield

OWN CORRESPONDENT

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.
