A Day in the Life of a First Century Jew in Palestine

On Friday 29th July come to school dressed in your school uniform and have your costume and prop in a bag. You will change your clothes at the end of first break so you are ready for the four First Century rotations that begin at 11:30am.

Process to organising a costume

1. Choose a group to represent - Sadducees, Pharisees, Zealots or Essenes
2. Watch the clip in learning links
3. The people of this time dressed in robes. They can be fashioned from a sheet or towels.
4. Decide on a prop.
5. Know the beliefs of the group you represent - check the notes in your religion book or the clip
6. Know how they think about the other groups or people of the time eg We learnt the other day that  Jews shunned the Samaritans.

Parents, it is not our intention that you go to added expense. Your child can use things that are already in your house. For example: sheets, towels, tea towels, scarves.We want this to be a learning experience that they will remember.

Your child should have given you a note on Friday about the day. Please return the slip at the bottom so we know how many of you will be visiting us for the middle session.
