We read a very interactive and story of how Esther (also known by her jewish name Hadassah) was chosen as queen of Persia and how with the help of her uncle Mordechai she uncovered a plan that the wicked Haman was putting together to destroy all the jews. We learnt how brave Esther was and how wise Mordechai was. During our story lots of noise was made by all !
We say a new noisy song:
If you hear the name of Haman stomp your feet. (stomp feet twice) repeat
If you hear the name of Haman, if you hear the name of Haman, if you hear the name of Haman stomp your feet (stomp feet twice)
If you hear the name of Esther clap your hands......
If you hear the name of Ahasuerus turn around.....
If you hear the name of Mordecai shout hooray....
We then rolled up our sleeves and baked our own purim cookies and the traditional hamantaschen. As if that was not enough we also made little baskets to in which we put our purim cakes and sweets.
Reading our interactive purim story:
Singing our purim song :
Then hard at work: First we rolled the dough, then cut it in circles, filled it with chocolate, chocolate chips or jam, pinched the corners into the form of a triangle and into the oven it went:
Making our purim baskets :
And after all that hard work a well deserved snack to share :
Well done to all the kids !
