Sinai Jewish Primary School

Year 1 are learning about natural and human features in Geography. Today they carried out some fieldwork by going for a walk around the school to spot different types of features. Armed with their clipboards the children will use their findings to explain why each feature was human or physical.

Shabbat Shalom to all our wonderful families 🩵

We are in the process of putting together our Poppy display ahead of Remembrance Day. Mrs Lipshaw loved these beautiful, big poppies from our Nursery children. They will look wonderful in the Hall, displayed with artwork from across all year groups.

We always like to be on trend so over the half term we painted and created our very own Rubik’s cube bench. A happy space for “cubers” coming together from across the year groups.

We are always delighted to be featured in the The Jewish Chronicle Education Supplement. Mrs Lipshaw has written a full page feature about finding the balance between technology and traditional education to achieve academic excellence. The full article can also be viewed on our website https://www.sinaischool.com/blog/2023-10-19-12-12-27-technology-and-education-how-to-strike-the-right-balance 💙

Our Nursery children are looking at Nursery Rhymes and today are exploring all things Humpty Dumpty. They are cutting Humpty Dumpty to improve their fine motor skills, learning pencil control, using playdoh to strengthen their hand muscles and playing with the masks and puppets in the tuff tray.

Shabbat Shalom 💙

Our year 2 children are really enjoying their DT lesson exploring different types of mechanisms. They are building on their knowledge and looking at pop up mechanisms to make their rabbit pop up out of a hat. This follows their research into artist Robert Sabuda who makes pop up children’s books. 📚

Our year 1 children are enjoying a carousel of activities in their Science lesson. They are learning about extreme and regular weather. Here they are creating weather art, sorting different types of weathers and handwriting them, doing weather wordsearches, looking at weather pictures and talking about them and using the magnetic letters to make weather words. ⚡️🌤️⛈️☀️❄️

We like our children to ‘Look Smart, Think Smart’ and the same applies to our wonderful Sinai Therapy Dog, Ralph. Doesn’t he look dapper in his new Sinai dog bib? 🐶💙

How it started vs how’s its going… Two year 4 children came to see Mrs Lipshaw with an idea - the “No Be Lonely Club”. They wanted a suggestion box for ideas and to monitor the playground to make sure everyone was playing happily. So a meeting was arranged, a poster created and their box now sits proudly on the front desk. In assembly today Mrs Lipshaw presented them with their own bespoke sashes to wear whilst on duty. Mrs Lipshaw loves to hear from the children and see their ideas become reality. Good luck girls!

Just over a week to go until we welcome lots of lovely prospective parents into view our school and meet our teachers and children. 💙💙💙. Booking is essential so come and see for yourself just what makes Sinai so special. Call to book : 020 8204 1550

Our succah has been a hive of activity today! We loved welcoming in our Reception parents and grandparents this morning. Everyone enjoyed group tefillah, sang Succot songs and the children were all given a snack bag to eat in the succah. There was also a craft activity to do together, making a Sefer Torah from felt and pom poms to be used on Simchat Torah. All classes will be visiting the succah this week and 2 of our year groups enjoyed lunch al fresco today with the other year groups planned for later in the week. A full day of celebrating Succot! Seed

Happy National Teaching Assistants’ Day! Here’s to our wonderful support staff who help power our classrooms, hold hands, care, help, support, nurture and bring smiles to all corners of our school. 🩵🩵🩵

Look how clever our Nursery children are. They have been making their very own mini Succah just in time for Succot. Lots of concentration, gluing and sticking and some very proud smiles. Well done 🌟

Our children love reading and to kick off the new year each class has chosen some brand new books for their classroom reading areas. Miss Collins surprised this year 2 class with a book delivery. The children uses their prediction skills to guess what was inside the gift. They are very excited to read it and add it to their collection of books. 📚 💙

Our Reception children are having a lovely morning in our outdoor mud kitchen and gardening area. This area develops fine motor skills, engages creativity and imagination, fosters an interest in nature and encourages independence, social engagement and role play. 🪵🍃🪹🧹🪨☀️

Lots of busy little hands - exploring, building, drawing, painting, squishing and playing! Our Nursery children have been enjoying the sunshine outside and indoors activities on offer. 😊💙

Year 2 are out and about and navigating their way around campus. They are putting their map reading skills to good use and reading their compasses to help get them around. A fun and hands on Geography lesson. 🗺️ 🧭

Staff vs year 6 netball tournament… and the winners are… the staff!! Well played everyone - it was a fierce but friendly competition! 🏀

We love to celebrate the many different talents of our children and we are delighted to add another award to our Trophy Cabinet. Well done to these year 5 children for scooping the Best Rap prize at Etgar. The children beat 99 other teams to win - writing about the importance of a Kohen Gadol using their knowledge and skills. Well done 🌟

It’s not every day you have 2 Team GB athletes at school. This week we were lucky to welcome sprinters Chad Miller and Tommy Ramdhan into school to talk to the children and run sports sessions with them.

There’s no typical school day but here’s a peek behind the classroom doors to give you a glimpse at the Sinai magic and all that’s on offer💫💙

We have a winner! 🏓🏓🏓. This week, our Play Leader, Miss Lewis, together with Mrs Jacobs and Miss Kluk, held a KS2 inter-year table tennis tournament. Well done to our 4 finalists - and our winner, who was cheered on by his friends.

Year 4 are mummifying tomatoes with a mixture of salt and bicarbonate of soda. This is part of their Ancient Egyptian History topic. Stay tuned for the results… 🍅🍅🍅

If the Reception children (and teachers) were particularly Zen today that’s because they’ve had a spa day! They donned their dressing gowns and slippers for a mini Spa day as part of their PSED topic of looking after our mental health and well-being. They enjoyed mindfulness colouring, cooking, taking part in yoga and meditation sessions and visiting their own wellness spa!
