On Wednesday, Mr. Mulrenan took the assembly. He shared a story about a queen who served her people with great bravery. The children had to imagine that a line had been drawn down the middle. They were then asked how they would feel if they didn't see the children on the other side ever again. Years ago, Queen Ester uncovered a horrific plan: all her people were going be taken away and killed by a man called Haman. Fortunately, Queen Ester managed to thwart Haman's plan after taking great courage.
Every year, Jews tell the story of Queen Ester and her bravery and service to her people. Each time the name of Haman is mentioned, rattles are shaken and people say the phrase 'rak-a-tak'.
