3RT Food and drink symbolising my life
15 Jan 2014
In RE we are currently looking at signs and symbols. On Tuesday we looked at the Passover and what it meant to the Jewish faith. We were particularly interested in the food and drink that they celebrated this occasion with and what it symbolised. So we discussed the story of Moses and the Israelites finally escaping Egypt after years of slavery and what God did to help them. We then looked at the sedar plate and found out why they celebrated with this meal.
The children in 3RT were then asked to imagine they were thousands and thousands of miles from home and they were to prepare a meal that reminded them of home. Some of the responses were both wonderful and extremely creative.
Can you see one of your symbols below? What else do you know about the Passover? Add any comments below.
A baked bean is shaped like a rugby ball so it reminds me of sport.
A birthday cake reminds me of celebrating with my friends and so symbolises friendship.
Blueberries symbolises sadness because you are feeling blue being away from family and friends.
A marshmallow is squishy and reminds me of my family's hugs because they are squishy.
A pizza is the shape of a football and reminds me of my love for football.
I would have carrots because I love rabbits and they love carrots.
I would have a crab sushi roll because the crab is very soft and love is too.
A Haribo heart because it reminds me of my family.
Peas can represent being part of the Hnadsworth Community.
A banana symbolises happiness as it looks like a smiling face.
Well done 3RT, I am very impressed with these.
