In this module, children will explore some of the stories of significant people of the Old Testament who helped to reveal God to people of their time. This module will build on the Old Testament modules explored in ES 1, the First Creation story and the story of Noah. It will contribute to the childrens’ understanding that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, its value being in our interpretation of what it means in our lives, Rather than using the complex and long scripture passages, the stories will be told using resources such as the “To Know, Worship and Love” big books, so that the children begin to see the picture of stories that covered a large span of time, as part of one story. This will hopefully build a basis for a later engagement with the words of scripture. ***The Background for this module is quite long. It is designed to build deep knowledge and understanding for the teacher. It is only when the teacher has deep knowledge and understanding that this can also be developed in the students. As teacher, it is expected that you engage deeply with the Background of all modules, you will benefit by taking your time to do so with this module.*** Outcomes
