Important Information

Library Year 3-6

A library book will be given to each child to take home and read at their leisure. The children will then need to write a short book review in Hebrew. The children do not need to understand every word of the book.

They should try to get the 'gist' of the story and the review can be a few familiar words if longer sentences are more challenging.

The books should be returned as often as possible (minimum one every half term).

Library time in Year 5 and 6 will be during class time and the books will not come home.

Ivrit lessons do not always follow the curriculum. There are many cross

curricular lessons for example during Book Week, Ivrit is taught through

storytelling and creative writing. In Art Week, Ivrit is taught through

paintings and Israeli artists. During the Chagim, Ivrit lessons include

relevant songs, activities, foods and stories from Israel. The language

is taught in tandem with the culture. Where possible the culture is brought

into the classroom through videos, Israeli guests, drama, foods and song.
