Today the children of Eden celebrated the Jewish festival of Purim. Purim is held every year, it is when the Jewish people celebrate their deliverance, thousands of years ago, from a massacre by Haman. It is a time of celebration where children dress up, this year the theme was 'Prince and Princesses of Persia'. The children looked good in their outfits.

many games on offer. |
Once "captain" Rabbi Thurgood had explained the meaning of Purim to the prep school, and everybody had paraded their costumes, each child was given a delicious hamentashen to eat. After this they were treated to a variety of games, organised by the grade 6 pupils.
