Why this why now
Pupils have built up an understanding of Judaism through learning about Shabbat, synagogues and creation. This unit allows them a chance to deepen their understanding and also make strong links to the Year 2 unit on covenant. This is a key concept in Judaism and the story of Exodus is a central story that will be revisited in the curriculum. A depth study of Pesach builds on their work in the previous unit looking at change and continuity in festivals.
