Our outing to Sinai Academy

Last week we visited the Sinai Academy in Bloubergrant. It was a very interesting and fun outing. The Rabbi was very funny. He wore a prayer shawl and blew the ram’s horn. He told us about the Jewish religion. The Jewish children sang and showed us Shabbat. They gave us challah bread and grape juice. He showed us lots of old scrolls and their ark.  I really loved the outing and I think i'm going to get a mezuzah.  

The Grade 4 Camp

Last week we were on camp. We went to Giraffe House and then Simonsberg. On the morning we packed all our stuff on the bus. First we went to Giraffe House and there we saw snakes, spiders, a really long python, a fake tarantula, 2 giraffes a llama, a ostrich, zebras and goats. We went to a reptile show and ate ice-cream. After all of that we went to Simonsberg Christian Center. We did lots of activities but in the dormitory there was old bubble gum in the corner! We played in the forest and some people said there was an dude with a white mask. I never saw him but the last night there some people said he came in the night. Unfortunately after that we were not allowed to go into the woods. I loved camp, even if the dude with the white mask was there.
