Last week, Year 2 enjoyed a special trip to @SuttonSynagogue to learn about how Jewish people worship. The children had the opportunity to explore the calm and respectful environment of the synagogue, ask thoughtful questions, and deepen their understanding of different faiths. pic.twitter.com/tre1CY5wLD— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) March 24, 2025
