Youth
A Purrrfect Pet Party at Sydenham
Sydenham Preschool is encouraging children to love and care for their pets by holding a pet friendly Shabbos ring including real-life critters like Ella the rat and Flash the gecko.
Pets is one of a number of themes the school has introduced. It follows a Shavuot celebration a few weeks ago and time spent introducing the children to much loved books like The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson.
In the spirit of pets, the children brought their favourite fluffy toy pet to school and learnt how to care of their animals. The week culminated in the pet-friendly Shabbos picnic on the school playground, which included a visit from Ella the rat and Speedy and Flash, two Leopard Geckos. The children also learnt how to bake dog bone shaped biscuits.
