In this unit, pupils will learn about the Old Testament people of God and how they lived their lives. They will learn the story of Noah, considering what it was like for him to follow God. They will learn about the covenant that Christians believe that Noah made with God, making links to the promises that Christians make at a wedding ceremony. Pupils will spend time looking at several texts that share stories from the Old Testament people of God in detail. They will consider the importance of returning to the original text for meaning rather than learning the story from videos or children’s books. Later in the unit, pupils will learn about the story of Abram/Abraham and the covenant that he made with God. They will consider why following God might sometimes feel hard for believers.
