Why this why now
Covenant is a key concept that will be revisited in Year 3 and in Key Stage 3. In Year 2 we use the language of promises to sow seeds for this. This unit allows pupils to build up their understanding of the Bible focussing this time on the Torah and Old Testament. The figure of Abraham is central to Abrahamic worldviews and so it is introduced here.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils will have studied stories from the New Testament including the birth of Jesus.
- They have looked at how stories have meanings.
- Pupils will have considered aspects of Judaism such as Shabat.
