Learning about Shofar for Rosh Hashana

We had a special visitor come to our classroom and show us all different shapes and sizes of Shofars. He blew the Shofars for us and told us about the different sounds it makes. He also explained that we blow it on Rosh Hashana as a wake up call for us to think about what we may have done in the past that wasn't so good and decide for the future to do better. The children then got a chance to touch the Shofars.
