We started by getting changed. Most people had a tea-towel and something to tie the tea-towel around their head. Some people were wearing dressing-gowns (including me)! It was really funny. You got to see everybody’s costume and some of them were a laugh!

When we poured the haroseth into our silver bowl it looked really disgusting. Chloe and Jenny claimed that although it looked horrible it was actually really delicious! Jenny had actually brought two bowls of it! (Later when we came round to eat it we didn’t even finish the first bowl!) Haroseth is a mixture of almonds, apples, raisins and cinnamon. This represented the mud used by the slaves in Egypt.

When it came round to eating the horseradish we got some on a plate and took it over to our table. It looked like bread sauce and was really lumpy. We all took a piece of lettuce and dipped it into the horseradish sauce. Emma took a tiny bit and claimed she couldn’t taste it-so I took a bigger bit and popped it in my mouth. It was too hot for my liking and I was surprised how many people said they liked it! This represented the bitterness of being a slave.

The calling out of the ten plagues was great fun. We all dipped our finger in our grape juice and flicked it on the ground. Our table always did it too late in my opinion.

In the middle of the Passover we sang this song called dayeinu. It was short but good fun!

Near the end was my favourite bit-the actual meal!!! The lamb was the nicest food and me and Emma had loads (it was only about quarter past ten).

At the end of the Passover we all shouted really loudly NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM!!! Emma was laughing so she just sat there with her dressing gown sleeve over her mouth.

At the beginning when we lit the candles I was so sure that somebody would set fire to something but nobody did, and when we blew the candles out it felt like the magic of the celebration had gone away.
